The #4 is the best in show for that blend. Glad you liked it.

So, here's my dilemma and what I was thinking as your cigars arrived today
I had 5 cigars earmarked for fight day. One main one for me and 4 that my friends could choose from.
But I knew I should start on yours right away. Choices, choices, choices.
I started to prep around 3pm some baked stuffed shrimp/clam stuffing for some shrimp I had. Wile sauteing the garlic, onions and celery, I had a great idea. Spark up Cigar #1 for pre-fight cooking festivities!

CIGAR A
First thing I noticed was how tight and impeccable the roll and construction was. The wrapper was slightly veiny with a nice chocolate color. The pre-light smell I noticed that nothing was really dominating, so I went straight on to the lighting.

The first taste there were nice hints of chocolate and vague spice I couldn't put my finger on yet.

By the 1st 3rd, it had a tiny bit of pepper on the back of the tongue along with that chocolate profile.

The 2nd third was more of the same, but the pepper got a little more aggressive but went nicely with the unknown spices and hints of cedar or wood.

The cigar went out, due to the very very windy day here in S.F., and as I would have let it go out anyways due to my tobacco/nicotine high.

The draw on the cigar was perfect while the burn was wavy but evened itself out.

A very enjoyable cigar I would be honored to have in my humidor. My guess: A Graycliff 1666 Pirate.

Go CroCop! (and Franklin too!)

btw... The stick I had earmarked for myself: A Graycliff Crystal Woot! Good choice if I was close jdorais!

CIGAR B
First thing I noticed was the nice chocolate color. The wrapper was had very little veins. The pre-light smell I noticed an earthy type of smell then I went straight on to the lighting.

At first taste there were earthy flavors with no distinct pepper or spices

By the 1st 3rd, it was very smoooth and the earthy notes were there to stay with a slight leather tone.

The 2nd third was more of the same, but a hint of spice and cedar.

Again, due to a break in the action and my skills being needed for stage 2 of feed the boys...The cigar went out and I may not have let it go out because my tobacco/nicotine high was not as potent as Cigar A. But it did.

The draw on the cigar was perfect and the burn was fairly even too.

A very enjoyable cigar, which reminded me a bit of the Sancho Panza flavor I like. I think with a little age behind this one it would probably sing a higher note!. My guess: A San Cristobal Guajiro.

CroCop lost because he couldn't see after a barrage of punishment form Junior DeSanto! (and Franklin lost also by TKO!)

Rad, those were good guesses!
Cigar A was the Auturo Fuente Sun Grown Cuban Belicoso.
Ciagr B is one of my new favories; The Nording Robusto

As a matter of fact I think I'm gonna enjoy a Nording during the 49'ers game today.

Auturo Fuente Sun Grown Cuban Belicoso, yum, and way cheaper then the Graycliff's, except that the weekly deal has em at $5 a pop. I can't pass that up. (Not with my new humidor on its way.. hungaring for all my stix.)

My throat hurts a little from last nights fight night, So no cigars for me today. I'll try and spark up Cigar C for lunch tomorrow.

CIGAR C
The wrapper was nicely rolled, the color a nice light chocolate brown, with a few little veins. The pre-light smell I noticed a light tobacco smell with hints of vegetable matter like squash or something, now on to the lighting.

At first taste there was a lot of pepper and spice.

The 1st 3rd, was very SPICY and the tobacco notes stayed. I noticed that the high/nicotine content in this stick is very high because I got a bit dizzy.

By the 2nd third the natural tobacco notes along with the spiciness wa there to stay. Although the burn was off so much I had to correct it. But very enjoyable. The draw on the cigar was fine.

With a little age on these I bet you'd have a superb smoke! A very enjoyable cigar, My guess: A Joya de Nicaragua Antano Consul.

Nope. That Joya is my wish list, I've been wanting to try one. Cigar C was the Casa Magna Robusto.
