[nismo350z]

If the BOTL here allow, i should be done with both by monday. Sorry for the delay

[booboo]

I had the 2nd one tonight..

I lit on it was easy along with the draw. The pre light draw was just as easy. It started with a very pepper tast to it with also a sweetness. The sweetness i could not put my finger on. I had the peper for the 1st quarter of the stick. After that the peper left and left with just the sweetness. This lasted till the 1/2 way point. Then i got what i am going to call a hickory flavor for most of the rest of the smoke. Just at the very end it changed to just a nice little cream flavor. This stick had lots of smoke threw out and you could play with the smoke as you exhaled.

Cusano 18 - Toro
Connecticut wrapper
7.00 a stick is what you paid.

Domincan Republic, 4 bucks a stick

The darker of the two i liked
Saint Luis Rey Serie G maduro
Domican

I will being having the 1st stick tonight so we can get the contest on with. This is a fun contest thanks.

Great thread... Can't wait to find out what they are.

[booboo]

The 1st one...

Well as for me a took a bit to light with the large ring gage. Had a nice darw with tons of smoke. For me I had no taste change for the entire stick. There was just a smooth creamy taste to it. The burn was great on it and when the ash fell off and that took a bit there was a nice cone still there. My guess is

Don Lino Africa
kiboko
cameroon wrapper
paid 6.00 a stick.

I will tabulate the scores and post the results later tonight.

For all of you out there who want to guess on the pictures only - this is your last chance!

[jesto68]

My official scoring is:

Taster's Choice:
White97Jimmy - 2
Nismo - 1
Greerzilla - 0
booboo - 0

Eagle Eyes:
Sancho - 2
Bazookajoe - 1


The winners are White97Jimmy and Sancho. Your winnings will be mailed out tomorrow. PM me with your address and a small wish list - I'll see what I can do.

The correct answers were:

Stick 1

Rock Patel, Vintage 1992 (The Sixty), Sumatra Wrapper, $4

Stick 2

Tatuaje, Havana IV (Angeles), Nicaraguan Wrapper, $4



The price was a little bit of a trick question - since I paid $4 for each. I just thought it was funny that I had one very large stick that I like for $4 and one little tiny stick that I like for the same $4.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?


I hope you all had fun, even if you didn't enjoy the smokes.

I hope some of you tried them before and had the same opinion. Its just cool to see what you think when you have no clue what you are in for.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting and congrats to the winners!

I'm suprised at the Tatuaje... I either had a bad one or that line of Tatuaje tastes like crap. I've never had that one before.

[bazookajoe]
