I have my guess posted so go ahead and guess your self.
Think that was a good guess Cashedash. You didnt mention the size in your review but from the picture I would guess Hoyo 1066 Dark Knight. This smoke usually starts off pretty slow but the flavor builds quickly, and I have noticed the same combustion issues with this stick. If you only puff once a minute or so you have to give a few puffs to get it buring again. :stretchgr

Well I didn't have the specs on the size. But twenty5? Would you want to post that or should I get out the tape measure?

25 I cant take the suspense anymore...when are you going to spill the beans?
24 hrs after the review, so tomorrow night lol.... Gives more people the chance to guess.... If this is successful, they may be round two and you seem like a good candidate.

twenty5, i don't know if this was your idea, or cash's but this is too cool. i love this idea. graet opportunity for the new guys to get smokes they never might get AND the chance to think like a reviewer!

Mbarone smoked a CAO gold maduro and identified chocolate for the first time. he found that very cool.

fantastic idea, whoever owns it!

Shuckins sent me an unbanned cigar in a bomb, instead of asking him what it was, I pmed him saying I will reveiw this and try to guess what it is. I posted my review then twenty5 say it and decided he would send me three. So I guess it was me shuckins and twenty5. The idea didn't really come to anyone it just happened.

Make your guess for cigar A if you wanted to, I am posting the correct answer when I get home later.. Cigar A only! No saying "I knew that" after I give the answer!! Whoever has the most correct at the end of his reviews will get a couple decent sticks from me. 1 guess per cigar and only after he reviews them!

Perdomo Reserve Maduro...? Never had it though I've tasted the 'peanut butter' thing in them - the only thing is that I've never had a Perdomo that didn't draw at first...


Kudos to all - this was a good idea.

All wrong, very deceiving this first one... Cigar A -Exile Maduro




A smoke that is apparently no longer made, I have seen them sell for anywhere between $30 and $130 per box, now they are staying towards the higher price due to lack of supply. I love these, especially for the price, I have not had any real draw issues but that could have been because of humidity levels, I will have another soon to make sure of that. As for the uneven burn, that hasn't happen to me either. Overall I find this cigar a great bang for the buck. Shuckins turned me on to these by the way, I am sure that a lot of you have these in your possession thanks to him. Feel free to post your thoughts on them.

Great review, great pics. Looking forward to the next one!

Never heard of them but way to go off the radar and fool everyone! You have any more info on this stick?

Actually I saw them at the show TWOfive, but they had half the paper so you can actually see the cigar. It's a Berger & Argenti cigar along with the Exile Wired and new Entubar (peep that gimmick! if you have not heard or seen it yet). I agree I don't see them anymore and actually liked the Exile sticks when they first dropped. Meh, I guess I don't know... but $30 bucks a box? Point me in the right direction man!
