Re: DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test Thread
Flat4boxer Cigar #7
**************** Cigar #7 is a light brown cigar with almost white veins running through it. Good construction but does not feel as tightly wrapped as the other stick we've tried up to this point.  Pre-light The draw is medium upon clipping the end. Light Plenty of smoke. The draw is perfect allowing good amounts of flavorful smoke to enter my mouth. It has a medium body and good flavor.  1/3rd Flakey gray ash forms, burn is even despite it being breezy out today. While smoking I keep thinking "I must have more" and have to force myself to slow down. The flavor is awsome. No touch ups are needed.  2/3rd DO WANT!!! Flavor bomb!! Not sure how to describe it. Mellow, leathery, smooth and creamy. If it were a woman, I would ask it for a date. If it were a food product it would be bacon. Bacon wrapped in bacon and served with bacon. If it were a Monty Python song it would be "Spam" Yummy!!  3/3rd "Lord, hear my prayer" "Blessed be DBall for the greatness he has bestowed upon me this day" "Bless him that his music reaches the top of the Billboard Charts and that he has throngs of rabid female fans beating down his door"  Yes, I nubbed it. I nubbed it like no other before it. Best cigar I've had since taking up cigars. Better than my previous favorite, RYJ No. 3 but very similar IMO. Please let this be a NC so I have free access to it. Overall I give this stick a 9.6/10 It lost 4/10ths because it went out and burned my lips in the process. I would def. recommend this stick and I will buy a box upon discovery of what it is. Thanks for reading. |

Slavac Cigar #8
************* Cigar: Mystery Cigar 8 Setting: Back deck on a 60 deg afternoon. Amazing weather for a cigar. Drink: Nada  Initial Impressions: Cigar looks very well wrapped and constructed with a slight 'pigtail' on the end. Cut and pre-light draw: Cut easily using my xixar multi-tool. Draw is medium and what I would consider 'ideal'. No plugging evident. Lit easily using my tri-torch. Draw after lighting: Remained ideal. First Third: Draw was smoothe, and flavor was heavenly. There was notes of pine, the occasional sweet hint and love. The flavor profile didn't change throughout the cigar which makes for a boring review, but a lovely damn smoke.  ^Playing with different angles. Second Third: Developed some very weird cigar issues. The burn started freaking out and retreating rapidly to reveal an almost perfect hole in my cigar. Any idea what the hell this is anyone?   Third Third: Smoke volume diminished to almost nil after the hole appeared. That said, the flavor remained amazing and the volume of smoke picked up toward the end of 3/3 with a bit of tar buildup despite purging.  Final Impressions: Even with the funky burn, this was one of the best cigars I've had in a long wile. Would I buy again: Absolutely. Would I smoke again: In a heartbeat. Overall Rating With 10 the highest possible and 0 the baseline: 9.25 Final Thoughts: I'd like to see what the burn was all about. If anyone has any ideas, lemmie know. |

Slavac Cigar #9
************* Cigar: Mystery Cigar 9 Setting: Back deck on a 50 deg night. Drink: Nada Initial Impressions: Cigar is dark with a flawless construction and an oily appearance. Cut and pre-light draw: Cut easily using my xixar multi-tool. Draw is medium and what I would consider 'ideal'. No plugging evident.  Lit easily using my tri-torch. Draw after lighting: Remained smoothe throughout.  ^1/3. Ph34r the ash.   ^Xixar punch tool? Heh, it works. Overall Impressions: My phone chucked my notes, so there's no by the third review. The burn remained constant throughout, though the first ash was very funky (think graboids). The flavor remained smoothe and lovely from start to finish. Frequent purging kept any tar flavor away which made this hour long smoke a joy. Construction held solid throughout as well. All in all this was a premium cigar in my books. Final Impressions: Brilliant cigar. Consistant throughout and downright lovely. Would I buy again: Depending on price point, absolutely. Would I smoke again: Yup! Overall Rating With 10 the highest possible and 0 the baseline: 9.4 Final Thoughts: This was one of the best cigars I've had in a very long time. Don't hesitate to give one of these a try.  ^Wraiith helped in the making of this review. |

What they smoked:
 1999 Vegueros Especiale #2 Slavac score: 9.25 Flat4boxer score: 9.0 No idea about the funky burn Brad... OK... you guys are in the home stretch. Only 2 cigars left. Hopefully we'll get em done before the holidays so I might be able to start round 2 of this  This is a ton of fun so far, though. |
