If you dont tell anyone, i'll admit to geing really rather excited for the big reveal!

[PeeJay]

I cheated a bit and sent one to Torsion in New York because I had his email and he tried to post a review here today but couldn't for some reason so here's a copy and paste of what he sent me

'Hope you are well Sir.Little review follows which I would of posted:
For some reason I am unable to post on the thread and reading that you would reveal this weekend I thought I had best smoke one,so last night I pulled one from the humi after 9 days rest from their little travel excursion over to NYC.Ideally I would of rested a month.
The smell was amazing and I felt excited about lighting up, construction most excellent with a chocolatey wrapper and after clipping off a small part of the end at an angle I checked the cold draw,after reading a topic from FoH I decided to spend a little time doing this.Was getting very woody/cedar type flavour pre-light and proceeded to spend more time on that cold draw which to me was open but not enough to make me feel concerned.This was all done in the warmth of my apartment and as its a strictly no smoke zone I went out to the front of the building where I toasted the foot with my Nat Sherman soft flame butane lighter and then lit up.
The weather is a little chilly, the weather app says 3 Celsius and there is a fair breeze. Instantly I am hit with spice and pepper!Boom, wood and more wood, definitely medium to medium full from the off (for me) and almost immediately it ruled out any thoughts of this thing being a Monte (as per thoughts by others on the thread). Very Partagas like IMO at this point, savoury and dry to my palate and the spice and pepper lasting into the first third.Here comes the leather!Wow now I'm getting why some people describe flavours as old ladies handbags haha ��
Into the second third, this thing is rich, earthy and full bodied, smoke output is tremendous and whilst I normally prefer a sweeter/creamy profile I am enjoying this petit piramides.Not much touch up needed but the wind is stronger out than I'd like so I attempt to keep that burn from being lop sided.
Based on my little experience, at this stage I've also ruled out Ramon Allones and shortlisted in my head a handful of marcas.
Into the last third my overall impressions are that this was consistent throughout and although to me fairly one dimensional I enjoyed the rich, earthy, leathery and savoury flavours of this stick which incidentally from memory is my first (Cuban) short/petit piramides so making the guessing a little tough. Been doing some additional research in terms of availability in this size vs info you gave us on the thread and based on the tasting my guess is that this is a Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 LE. I've only ever smoked the Boli CJ and PC and this stick was damn closest in flavour/richness and body.
Intrigued at what it is!Just these past few months I've felt I've been able to detect more flavours and nuances in the smoke when I'm tasting.However I could be well wrong! Haha love this hobby ��


Cheers

THE REVEAL

Well CJ was close with his guess and Oskihen was spot on but only I think because we had previously talked about these. Did anyone wonder why you didn't get a label in a separate envelope? Because I thought for the first one of the year I'd play a little mind game with you all. It was a custom roll - five year old tobacco by an RyJ roller.

PM me if you want the supplier.

[Emaresee]

Ha! I had wondered if it was a cunning custom... But admit it was a throw away thought as i couldnt trigger it as definitely something else, certainly not an informed view!!!

PM en route... I'd grab a mittenful of those any day of the week! Well played [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION] cracking selection.
