    So I just smoked cigar "A" and brought a note pad so as I give it a full review. I wrote a lot down. :)

    This particular cigar had quite a few imperfections in the leaf - little dots, if you will, in the leaf, and had quite a few veins in it. It was a torpedo shape, so I cut it with my cheap cutter. The pre-light draw was too heavy for my preference, so I cut it a second time. Sadly, the wrapper split away a bit from the cigar on the second cut (bad cutter!) which was slightly annoying for the entire cigar. My fault, new cutter is on the way thanks to the wife and our anniversary coming up.

    Initially, the taste was a little musty and dank. I was a bit concerned the cigar was going to be terrible, but only for a few minutes. After that, it had a HEAVY body and a very strong flavor. Cedar, leather, and something I couldn't put my finger on that kept showing up throughout the cigar. The finish was pleasant, but strong. It was packed tightly, the first ash came at two inches - and would have gone further had I not dropped the cigar, lol.

    The burn on this was incredible. I didn't have to touch the thing after the initial light. Even after the ash fell, it didn't need any corrections at all.

    The flavor remained strong most of the way through. Medium-Heavy body for sure. There was a section in the middle where it became a bit boring and mellowed out, but it came on strong after a few minutes. The aftertaste was occasionally bitter, but in general was good. It reminded me of a Rocky Patel Edge or the Man o' War - heavy, but pleasant flavor. I'm pretty sure I've never had this before, so I really am at a loss for what it is.

    The heavy body definitely gave me a strong buzz that is just starting to wear off as I am typing. It was a good cigar, but not spectacular. In hindsight, I should have eaten a good meal before this one!

    No kidding? I would never have guessed since that's my first. :) I'll hopefully get to cigar B tomorrow!

    So I finally was able to get to Mystery Cigar "B" after my vacation this weekend. My review:

    This was a fabulously constructed box-press, darker color wrapper. The burn was epic - questionably the best burn I've ever had on a cigar. Didn't have to touch it after lighting her up with my new lighter, courtesy of the wife on our anniversary today. I even had to leave the cigar for a few minutes to go make another drink - a couple puffs and it was burning perfect again. I love that in a good cigar.

    This cigar had two sections, if you will, to it. The initial first half was milder than the second - I would say medium bodied. It was a bit earthy, leather for sure, and had a cocoa flavor at times. It had a subtle sweet flavor to it. Very enjoyable, and smooth. The second half was heavier, not exactly a heavy body, but much closer to heavy. The earthy flavor was much more pronounced and the cocoa faded a little, but was still there. The sweetness was replaced by more of a bite - not unpleasant, but certainly a bit more pepper than sweet. I had a good buzz going by the last fifteen minutes, but not as much as Cigar "A" from last week. It helped that I had eaten more before smoking this one, lol. Total smoke time was about 90 minutes.

    Final thoughts are simple - it was great. I really enjoyed this one. I really love box-pressed cigars - the burn seems to always be so good.

    My guess for cigar "B" is Rocky Patel Vintage 1992.

    Damn your good! Cigar B was a.... - Rocky Patel, Vintage 1992, Robusto, Habano

    I thought the shape and taste might give it away. Are you familiar with this stick?
