Mine landed today, thanks [MENTION=13462005]moteyi[/MENTION]. Will probably light it up this week, no idea what it is at this stage!

Following on from my question elsewhere about changing RH, I thought I should say that the cigars I sent out were stored around 70 RH, so they may benefit from being dry boxed for a day or two before you smoke them.

So I had mine at lunch an was a ok smoke....the tar build up at the beginning put me of slightly as the first few puffs were quite enjoyable. I think I've had the marca before but can't point which one...from the taste of it seem.like a young smoke

Cheers for hosting

Smoking it now with a third left

For me it?s mild and flavour is consistent throughout

My guess is Upmann

I had mine at the weekend. A mellow smoke, well constructed with one relight needed, possibly due to cold/damp conditions of my garage that even my small heater couldn't prevent. Enjoyable to the end. Flavours picked up and became richer in the final third, though nothing I could particularly pick out.

Thanks [MENTION=13462005]moteyi[/MENTION] for organising.

Indeed thanks to [MENTION=13462005]moteyi[/MENTION]! Nice one. My first COTM.

Had mine at the weekend. Spicy throughout. Agree last third was a bit more ... tasty. No idea what could be - couldn't guess

I smoked one of mine tonight - really enjoyed it (bit of a revelation!)

Many thanks for hosting (and humbling me) [MENTION=13462005]moteyi[/MENTION]!

Looking forward to the big reveal. I've got one more to try once I know what they are... Still a week to go!

I could find out I know. But I'm a sucker for nice surprises

[moteyi]

Last day of November, so are we ready to know what the COTM was? Not sure what the usual etiquette is.

COTM Nov 2017 REVEAL

Well I know that this came as somewhat of a surprise to at least one participant who admitted to having a sneaky peak, but the COTM was a much maligned (by some) Romeo y Julieta. Perhaps a good example of what a bit of age can do?

I have NO idea what you're talking about, sir!

Now please keep quiet, i'd like to eat my words in peace...


N.B. - it was a great smoke, thank you for hosting!
