    Man John just the thought of hot buttered roll action has peaked my interest. Nice review!

    This is one of my favorites. I have 2 of that size left,and a box each of the churchills and coronas with already a year in the coolidor. Your guess was AB SCR. The mystery stick is actually JdN Celebracion Consul. Glad you enjoyed the sticks and the game. Let's keep it rolling fellas. Anyone else wanna play?

    Well --- I was right that I hadn't smoked it before ... (but I think I was bombed one fairly recently)

    How aged was this one, just curious?
    And have you noticed the buttery, yeasty roll flavor with this one? Or did I just have dinner on my mind?

    hmmm, buttered rolls sound good. Oddly enough, I just smoked my first JdN Celebracion. Reading this made me run for my review notes. I didn't get yeast, I guess, but I did get butter. In fact, I said an herb butter.

    In the end I really liked this smoke; it was smooth and it made me want to not think about what I was smoking, but I forced myself to do so. I think it's a great smoke.
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Buttery yes, but yeasty roll I'm not sure of. The consuls have about 2 years on the coolidor. This is my go to stick in a pinch.

    Finally over this cold! I will be getting back to herfing in the next few days. I also have some ready to ship to Stsepas and those will go out asap as well.
  • Poker_SlobPoker_Slob Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Glad you're back in business. Looking forward to your opinions on some blind sticks.

    yeah I kinda want in on this!!
    Money can't buy taste
  • Poker_SlobPoker_Slob Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The more people we have, the more fun it will be. Vision will send sticks to Stsepas, Stesepas will then send to Rain. When Rain receives his sticks, he can send to Lee.mcglynn. Does that look good for everyone? If anyone else wants to get in on the game, please post and we will follow in order.

    I met up with Stsepas over the weekend. He said he would post soon. He did smoke A. I still need to find time to burn down the next one. Better weather ahead!
  • StsepasStsepas Posts: 475
    Sorry about the lack of picks. I'm still posting from my phone and can't get em to upload… Mystery stick A = this stick was about 5-52 maduro. It had a perfect burn no touch up required at all. The stick started out with earthy, and pepper notes thru the 1st 1/3rd. The pepper faded and I picked up a cream/ nut flavor. Then finished tasting almost hazelnut.
    My guess is a CAO MX2

    Bingo! I will be smoking my next guess in the next few days...warmer days are here!
  • Poker_SlobPoker_Slob Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Congrats. You nailed the first stick!
  • StsepasStsepas Posts: 475
    B, and C are gonna b a lot harder. I had just picked up a sampler of the CAO MX2 before getting the mystery sticks. That helped quite a bit.
  • jgibvjgibv Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Bump for updates.....???

    My bad on the delay I smoked stick b and have notes just have to put some thought into it. Will post review, and guess in the am. Then I'll smoke stick c tomorrow so my part will b wrapped up tomorrow
  • VisionVision Posts: 8,465 ✭✭✭✭✭
    And I just need to dig them out of my cluttered wineador and should be able to smoke this weekend.
  • Poker_SlobPoker_Slob Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Are either of you going to post on the sticks you've received? If not, I don't have a problem starting over.
  • StsepasStsepas Posts: 475
    I am. Smoked stick B, and the review will be up b noon tomorrow.
    I'm gonna smoke stick C tomorrow afternoon, and post tomorrow evening

    Once I'm done who am I sending my mystery sticks to?
  • VisionVision Posts: 8,465 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Burn'd down stick B today...... I will be honest.. I have no real clue. Robusto.....It had perfect construction... close to flawless. Spice up front with lots of flavor thru the first 3rd. 2nd and nub were the same with lots of leather and little spice... My guess is My Father. I am at a loss with this one. Ive had a ton of M.F. from my pass and it was close but not the same finish. It did have a year on it tho.... I will grab the reveal asap and post what it was!
