Virtual BTT Mystery Review #2

Doctorossi · 08-22-2009, 11:05 AM

Remember how this works? I smoked it. Below is my review. Guess well and you may get a surprise.

Doctorossi · 08-22-2009, 11:06 AM

Thick as a double corona, long as a churchill. Medium colorado wrapper. Clean double-cap. Not the tightest of burn-lines, but a perfect draw every time.

If you want to eat this profile for lunch, make a bowl of cream of mushroom soup, chop some raw asparagus into it and dump in the black pepper. Once you get about halfway through the bowl, pause to snack on a few dry corn flakes. Now slather in some clotted cream for the mild finish. Beware, though, of the shockingly potent snork. The lit-end aroma is the best of straight tobacco.

This cigar is a dear old friend I've been smoking regularly for 18 years. All that time, it's been dead-on consistent. If I have a go-to "everyday" smoke, this is it. Every once in a while, I forget how much I enjoy this stick. Then, I have another one and fall in love all over again. I'm never without these. And at ~$5 a pop online, I can't complain one little bit. I paid $2.75 before the boom and thought they were a steal then.

Nubbable and moreish.

So here, for me, is the great "Challenge of the Void":

Stumped, apathetic or both?

Starscream · 08-24-2009, 07:47 AM

Stumped.
Never tasted asparagus and corn flakes in a cigar before.

I'll take a wild guess and say it's from the RyJ Reserva line.

You up for a cryptic one?

There's a recent thread I've *technically* replied to, but I've been hesitant to comment the way I really want to because it might impact the result of this thread.

You've replied to that one, too.

You mean it wasn't the new asparagus and corn flake flavored Gurhka?
