Hey rad, not to split hairs or anything, but the RP 1992 has an Ecadorian Sumatra wrapper. Just thought I'd share that with you, not trying to correct you or anything. :)

Not to get too far ahead, but I'm interested in giving this game another try after ejenne gives it a go.

Appreciate.

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?

Wow, really? Sweet! I don't think I've ever had one, but with the box press, great construction, and the flavor, I figured it was a good guess at least. :) Awesome that I got it right on, lol.

Every time you call in on your Ccom order, I suggest saying "All Hail the Beard" before you hang up. It's like a secret handshake.

He will be receiving his mystery cigars next week. Due to his location (afghanistan) it may take a bit longer than normal. PM him and let him know you what to be his mystery mooch!

oye!
how could I have said habano! I use a excel spread sheet.. so I must have printed it wrong to start. The sheet will become more handy when I sort by fillers, etc. and discover new cigars based on my filler preferences.
Thanks j0z3r.

I likes me an accurate list!

I just finished up Mystery Cigar "C" and wow am I buzzed, lol. My review:

This was a very well constructed cigar. Think ring gauge, but shorter in size. I could tell from the initial smell and feel it was going to be packed pretty tight, and I was right. It burned perfect for the first 50 minutes - and it was awesome - the first ash didn't need to happen until then. On a scale of 1-10, the ash-to-crotch landing gets a 8.7 - so close. I think I ashed once more before I smoked it to the micro-nub. It needed a few corrections eventually, but nothing crazy.

This started medium bodied at first, but I knew it was going to knock my socks off eventually. It did! The flavor was strong earth, spicy but not overpowering. Wonderful. I enjoyed this one probably the most of the three. After the first third or so, it definitely got heavier and stronger. Man was it awesome. The flavor didn't change much, and I'm glad it didn't! I about burned the crap out of my fingers finishing it - rare for me. I typically will set a cigar down with an inch or more left, but not this guy!

Final thoughts: clearly, I loved it. I hope my guess is correct, cause I've never had one and I just ordered a bunch of them!

My guess: Man o' War Ruination

So, without any fanfare: Cigar C - Graycliff, Double Espresso, Maduro, Robusto Meet one of my favorites... Just went by on the deal of the day ...

Wow, very cool. Thanks so much for this mystery cigar selection. It was really interesting to try them out and review them without knowing what they were. Three cigars, very different, and all very good.

I smoked a Double Espresso the other night, the night of the daily deal for the Graycliff Double Espressos... to triple check to see if I needed even more of them. I enjoyed it immensely and was going to order "2" more of the daily deals... but fell asleep :(

I love that cigar

I'm sure if you call in, they will honor the daily deal price. They do for me if I miss one I really wanted. Ask for Jeff.

Got my pack from Phil today, hopefully I can get to cigar A here in a little bit. I smelled it as soon as they got here and it smells delicious! I can't wait!

GO 'CUSE!!!

So, cigar A was super delicious. It was pretty powerful, dark and oily, and spicy. The burn and draw were flawless. I am rather stumped though as to what cigar this one is. I want to say MoW Ruination but they don't come in the size I smoked. It has been a long time since I have had one of these but I have to guess: CAO MX2...?

SO close! It was the CAO LX2. Spot on with the review - pretty powerful cigar, good spice, and I've always had great draw and burn with this one. Definitely in my top ten favs.
