Prelight draw was tight and continued through first half. Had to touch up 3 times in first half, but straightened for the secomd half. Mellow spice and leather flavors to start, got much better second half.
Burn issues are confusing so a total shot in the dark.

I got the mystery sticks and a couple extras from Michael @Guitarded yesterday. Thank you brother! And please tell me about these Ezra Zion smokes, I haven't kept up with their offerings lately.
Also, I could not wait to get this started so I fired up Mystery Stick **A** this morning, great smoke!
It seemed to be about a 5x50 robusto, and was a very nice looking cigar. Flawless construction, no blemishes or damage on the outside, and a consistent deep-reddish-brown hue from top to bottom. The pre-light aroma was leather and hardwood with a hint of sweetness (maybe honey?)
The flavors were pretty dang consistent throughout the 1.5 hour smoke, and I picked up oak, cedar, terra firma, and an aftertaste of sweet caramel sauce.
The burn stayed razor sharp and the construction was top notch, this cigar did not require any touch-ups. I would certainly smoke this one again.
I'm not sure I've had this one before, and am scratching my head trying to figure out what it could be. The closest thing I can think of is the PSD4, but, IIRC, the PSD was a much drier smoke than this and I don't remember a sweetness with the PSD.
But, since I can't come up with anything else, I'll guess Partagas Serie D No. 4 for Mystery Stick A
John, @jgibv , I still have two mystery sticks from you. Any chance you remember what they are if I showed you pic of them? I have been wanting to smoke them and try my hand at this?

@90+_Irishman , Brett sure you can post up a couple pictures (and maybe the dimensions too?).....
I'll take a look but I seriously doubt I remember what they are.....I can barely remember what I had for breakfast haha. I will check and see if I have pics of them saved on my computer somewhere, that's about the only way I would remember what they are.
The Mystery A is a Connecticut robusto and Mystery B is a broadleaf wrapper closed foot and probably 52rg and 4-4.5" I can measure closer soon. Thanks man btw this was sent by you to me 4/8/15 if that helps.

@90+_Irishman .... hmm not entirely sure bro, sorry. i looked through my computer & phone and did not find any pics of them. if i did have pics or a note about what they were, i'm sure it got deleted long ago.
but....i do have a hunch for stick "B".....it kind of looks like a viaje supershot. the wrapper color seems about right and i know the supershots have a closed foot like that. and that's the only "closed foot" cigar i remember having....
I would have guessed Supershot too question is is it the corojo or criollo but smoking it will tell me, the criollo is far spicier so should be easy to tell. The only other thing I could think of would maybe be a Full Moon, most super shots are no longer than 3.5" and I am pretty darned sure this one is. Dunno LOL

@wylaff I'm not so sure Wayne, the 12 gauge is roughly the same size just a different Rg. Here is a better pic for comparison, the mystery stick is over 4" or right at it. The biggest Super Shot I can find reference of is 3.5" at longest

Schwing and a miss!!! One more to guess, then I need a volunteer!

Thanks @charlieHeis.
Who want to go next?? And remember just guess what you are smoking. No long reviews necessary.
the whole point of this one is to have fun with it, hope you enjoyed!
and yes, no super long review necessary!
maybe we can get someone who's never played before to step up and give this a shot.....

I knew the last guess was way off. Thanks @jgibv and @CharlieHeis. This was an interesting game. I apologize for the delay.
Who wants to be next?

And has anyone "seen" Michael @Guitarded , around this week....I'm curious to know what stick "A" was.
* I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *
thanks for the head's up.
* I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *
mystery sticks b & c are larger vitolas, been busy, and haven't had 1.5+ hours to sit down and dedicate to the cigars yet.
i will make some time this upcoming weekend and smoke both of them.
until then, if anyone wants to go next, step on up and LMK, I'll get your package out so this isn't held up any longer.
