January COTM Club

[MrMaduro]

Sadly not free, I bought the bigger ones because I use them for other things and the small one because I ordered the wrong size!

I was implying I am too tight to buy them, not assuming you had a free source!

Don't worry, no offence taken

I'm having this:

I don't know what it is. I like it. Nice vitola and flavours, good burn, no actually it's a great burn. If I had to guess Id say it's NC but there are lots of CC I've not had. Could be RyJ, I know little to nothing about them except light wrappers and milder smokes which this kind of is. Cazadores is my next one to try if anyone has some to trade. Anyway I digress, this cigar is nice. I look forward to opening the envelope later to see what it is.

I've had a box of these plus one from the COTM box and there hasn't been a bad burning/constructed stick between them.

Picked it up at the PO this morning, like the 'No Peking!' On the envelope, I abided by the rules...

Smoking mine down the pub right now, a very pleasant cigar with a jar of doombar.

Ace, that could be an advertising slogan!

Having my COTM. Construction and the cap give it away that its a NC. Prelight smells of horse shit as a lot of NC do. Once lit draw and burn are good. Getting light coffee and tobacco, hints of toast.

wouldn't even hazard a guess, not a cigar I am familiar with.

a nice smoke all done.

Glad I hadn't caught up with this thread before I sparked up. First couple of draws I thought this almost taste like an NC but it cant be cause its just too dam good. (Sorry NC fans) If it is an NC then I am amazed by how good it is. Amazed by how good it is if its Cuban which as I have got down and the flavours have developed I am pretty certain its, guess again mo. A really good smoke. First COTM the month I am keen to rush out and buy a box of. Well done Bugie!

[Budgie Smuggler]

Just out of interest, what was Simon's guess?

PS - There's no harm in people guessing in this thread if they haven't peeked in the envelope.

Didn't even look at the cap, you young whipper snapper, as know nothing about how either Cuban or non Cuban do the cap.

Went purely on taste. Which I did admit first couple of draws taste of what I am used to thinking of non-Cuban but after that was too good to not be. Which is all I can go on even though we all know my taste is fairly limited so will have to wait and see. If it is non-Cuban when I will be pleasantly surprised, very pleasantly surprised indeed.

Beauty of a cigar, really felt the flavours develop as got down the very well made stick. Really impressed.

[EdBlackadder]

Well that was wonderful, sharp notes of cedar to start with with evolving into oak and leather through the second third. Last third drifting into tannin and earth as well. Beautiful construction, smooth and unblemished. I agree non-Cuban and I could even hazard a guess at what it is. Are we doing that before the reveal? Oh darn it, I haven't peaked and I think its an Arturo Fuente.

I'm with Wigan, would love to grab a box!
