I am having mine right now.

This is not a format I would ever buy. Too small for my liking, but I'm happy to have it as a cigar of the month, so I can try something I wouldn't have tried otherwise.

The first puffs are very strong pepper flavours. Seems like a young cigar. There is some nice flavours hidden behind the pepper, but so far it rather burns in my mouth. It's surely a CC in it's early stages.

The draw is very light, which makes it dangerous to overheat it, due to the small ring gauge. At the end of the 1/3 I still find it hard to distinguish any flavours apart from the pepper. A constant uneven burn so far isn't helping either. Not having much hope for the other 2/3 at the moment...

2/3 did not bring any change. Still pepper and ammonia are being predominant. I am starting to be glad that it's a short stick now...

3/3 No improvement. From start to finish a rather unpleasant experience. I wouldn't buy another one of these, whatever they are.

Maybe if they had 5 years on them they would develop into something nice, but at this age (Whatever it is) I wouldn't touch another one.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with this COTM [MENTION=13432411]Niela[/MENTION] well done for staying with it even though it didn't improve for you.

No worries, you can't win them all... Always happy to try new things. I can't know what I like or dislike if I don't try. 😊

Fired up earlier in the week. I was wondering whether it was a bit youthful, but won't commit as sometimes making statements bites me on the derri?re. Overall, And with a little 'rawness' aside, I enjoyed it[emoji1417] thanks SJ

Had mine this afternoon.

As I've not experienced cigars for too long can't really guess, something I haven't smoked before.

Lasted 35mins.

For me the draw was tight but smoke able.

Think I had nodes of earth nutty taste like chesnut...some sweetness...over all nice smoke...looking forward to see what it was.

Just had mine and it was very nice and spicy, which I enjoy. But I have no idea what it is though [emoji85]

@smokey_joe when are you going to reveal the cigar.

smoked mine the other day
started off as a pepper boom with a funny after taste
but then mellowed out to be a great smoke
don't have a clue what it is but a nice smoke all the same.

I had mine today.
As previously mentioned, I think it might be a young smoke.
It was a little peppery but there were flavours sneaking through.
It had a bit of power hidden in there too.

I will have a stab at a Party Short.

Last chance for guesses...

If everyone has smoked theirs, that wants to, I will reveal the identity of the July 2016 COTM [emoji448][emoji448][emoji448]
