I thought it tasted like a Partagas too

Mine haven't arrived yet but if it's the Finos I'll be over the moon, I loved the one that I tried.

Scratch that, I was referring to the Petit Belicosos

Mine arrived yesterday - smell and feel lovely, great construction. No idea what they could be but very much looking forward to lighting one up.

Got mine as well... looks and smells great, though the mail was handled roughly and I now have a nice oval box pressed version of the cigar. The wrapper got damaged slightly as well, but the binder is still intact, so should smoke fine. Will try tomorrow.

Smoked the first of mine yesterday. I'm going to take a stab at a Monte.

What makes you think that? pondering.jpeg

It didn't strike me as a full bodied smoke, but more of a medium to medium full.
It just reminded me of the Monte flavour. I did have a large mug of Hazelnut coffee to accompany it, so may have been
influenced by the flavours of that.
I still have one more to try, so will probably have that with a beer and a malt.

So, my relative novice thoughts are as follows;

pre-light draw was easy and steady. Nice sweet, not syrupy, flavours with a nice and appealling tobacco twang. Lit easily ( despite being out in stiff winds) and then burnt slowly and steadily offering nice amounts of smoke without having to draw too hard. First 20% gave me a really cultured smooth creamy set of flavours... It was a stick in really good condition ( kudos @ PeeJay) and great construction. Through the middle is was pleasant but not as remarkable, got quite peppery but not over zingy. The last third stepped up a gear i got fruit, leather and someone else described as dried fruits which i think hit the nail on the head, quite savoury and leathery but fruity nevertheless, and the pepper zing changed to the sort of warm spicy taste of crystalized ginger.

i really enjoyed it. I would consider a box of them. i found it to be verging on full flavoured, but mature, so it softened the flavour profile. When i lit it the first smell said upmann, but it was 'bigger' in the smoking. Perhaps then a RA short perfecto? One of the many RE's they have done? Or a devilishly cunning custom roll?!

I really enjoyed this cigar, though the flavours have been rather subdued at times. But when they came through, they were great.

Due to the damaged wrapper it dismantled rather quickly though, probably influencing the flavours.

As for what it was? No clue..

Cigar of the month. Great construction. Nice stick.
First third : wood - cedar, cocoa.
Second third : wood-cedar, pepper and a slight floral note toward the bottom.
Final third : pepper.
I didn't get a Monte signature as others have said but I don't know what it is.

When can we expect the reveal [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION]? I've got my second of these still to smoke and would certainly buy more in the future.

We're not even half way through the month yet, I'll reveal on the weekend of 20/21 impatient.jpeg

Smoking mine now. It seems like a Maduro version of the BBF so I'll have a punt on it being the Boli PB 2009 EL
