A forum for cigar lovers.
lcpleel: BigT06:STICK C: cold's kicking my ass worse than on Monday... but I wanna smoke! Here goes... appearance: good looking stick. A few viens, but nothing to write home about. Milk chocolate brown in color with the texture of quality leather. construction: definitely a premium cigar, has a perfect feel to it. Cap is off-color, but perfectly applied. Looks like a 5x52 draw: perfect burn: awesome. Close to perfect. Can't say enough about the draw and burn on this one. taste: this is where it gets tricky... the first inch had me convinced this was a DPG cigar. Tons of spice on the retrohale, solid earthy core with some subtle but delicious nuances. But towards the middle, here's where it threw me... that DPG sweetness that ALWAYS creeps into the back of the sinus when you retrohale his cigars didn't kick in... some sweetness did finally pick up, but it wasn't that DPG character. so that's when I started to question myself... this cigar is familliar... but I can't put my finger on it. And then I start to think of how he threw me with the last one... AGE. Nothing about this cigar tastes "fresh or young", but it has enough body to make me think this is a full bodied cigar fresh, and its a solid med-full now. And who does full bodied cigars with these characteristics (and who I am familliar with)? DPG and/or AJ... but neither of them use this 5x52 vitola very often... so now I'm over thinking it, and this damn cold is becoming a real issue (blowing my nose every 2 to 3 mins)... at this point, I hate you Isaac. j/k lmao I will say this about the taste: it's good. I am enjoying the heck out of it. ANSWER: in all honesty, this is going to be a guess. I could prob narrow it down to 5 and then go from there with a couple hints, but with one shot at it... it's definitely a guess... and for the record, Isaac, you did a great job of bringing this close enough to home to make it confusing! DPG Black ...I know I'm wrong here, because of the vitola, but I am going to stick with my palates instincts and say that's the closest fit I can think of. Marker, yours fly today. Isaac, great job, and thanks for the awesome smokes. Todd honestly?? I dont even remember what a DPG Black taste like... lol but I really was thinking of changing this stick out because you talked about it for such a long time. Stick C is a Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles hope you enjoyed atleast 2 of the sticks. lol Great Job on the review of the stick even when your sick.

I thought it was the wrong vitola to be a nobles... oh well. lol funny, my eyes were the only part of me NOT struggling... and they were the part that failed. lmao like I said, you brought it so close to home that I second guessed myself. Great job. I truly enjoyed A and C! B sucked balls though... LMAO
Marker:BigT. Luckily I have never smoked a 1998 rosado or GH SLS. Now I can say I have and don't need to get more.
Marker:When I did it BigT had me post all 3 before he would say yes or no. Would you rather we go stick by stick?
