And who is next? Don't let my inept attempt at a blind review dissuade you from trying this. It was still fun and a good way to try a stick with no preconceived notions because of the band.
I can't take full credit for this one. The cap looked like you removed the pigtail to throw me off. That made me think it was something I had had before and was definitely one of the reasons I guessed what I did.

I'm good fit right now. Somebody needs to get in on this right @Patrickbrick
Team O'Donnell FTW!

No problem Charlie. It must have taken a while to dig out from what those noobs did to you. Looking forward to trying this. I just hope you were gentle. LOL
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.
I apologize for the delay, work and stuff, and wanted a clean palate for this.
Mystery stick A
4 1/2 by 46? Petite Corona
Wrapper is dark chocolate color but not black like a maduro. Corojo?
Almost seamless and very small veins, triple cap, beautiful!
Foot feels firm, but the rest of the cigar has the right amount of give to the touch.
Prelight the aroma is like an old barn, but a clean old barn. Almost like an antique store, musty and old wood. After cutting the draw has just the right amount of resistance and tastes a bit of leather and spice.
A slow toast and the first few draws are great. Leather, spice, and smooth aged tobacco flavors dominate. Tons of smoke and a slightly flakey ash.
One touch up after first third and the flavors mellow a bit. Flavors are rich, but not too overpowering. More leather, less spice. The ash falls on its own. Smoke stays warm but not hot on the palate.
Spice flavors return with the final third and leather flavors more intense. Smoke gets warmer down to the nub (thanks @stubble).
Overall a very enjoyable little cigar. I would definitely smoke many more of these!!
My wife walked by as I was struggling with the keyboard and asked if she could help, as I never learned to type, so my method is not hunt and peck but seek and thump. I explained to her that I would rather pave a driveway than have to write a paper in school. It has always been difficult to put my thoughts into words so your comments are greatly appreciated.
Two more reviews to go!!

Sounds good @Guitarded .... now that temps are warming up across the US, I'm hoping folks will be able to get out & enjoy some cigars and we can get some more interest in this.
I did not forget about it. I may take it too seriously, I should just enjoy the cigar and guess what it is. Not attempt to review it. Leave that to the professionals!!

@Guitarded ; correct the review doesn't need to be taken too seriously, and you don't need to write a novel for review.
just a short, few sentences, mini-review and a picture or 2 will suffice....per the game rules outlined in the OP.
Step 3...
Receiving person smokes cigars, posts up a mini-review, and guesses what they are.
(I would like to see them smoked & guess/review posted within 10 days of receiving package, so we can keep the game moving along).
Stick B 5x50 robusto 4 caps!!! Beautiful dark red wrapper Prelight draw has perfect resistance Spicey but not overpowering. Lots of rich smoke. Well constructed. Even burn. My guess is DPG Legado de Pepin. Thanks @charlieHeis Promise to get this moving again.

Anybody? How about @avengethis, @Usaf06, or @Puff_Dougie. If not it's back to Gibby.

@jgibvI can get this together this weekend if no one else bites.
If nobody wants to volunteer, I will be your huckleberry.
I will not play this game. My review would read some thing like, I liked it, I think its this. No one wants to read that crap, oh wait sorry.

My guess is from My Father. DPG or Jaime Garcia??
Thank You @CharlieHeis
P.S. My first written review and not as easy as I expected.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
That was a great review
Thank you to @charlieHeis, @wylaff, and @johnnyB.
