received in a mega bomb from justin (twenty5).
thank you Justin!!

let's meet the lineup:
the star of the show with stinky the ashtray (thanks unibombers!):

xikar as the cutter:

prometheus as the lighter:

shuckins as the smoker:

enjoying the sunshine before picking up the cutter:

an easy cut:

and an easier light (no tears please,this is what cigars are made for):

and we're smoking!

a smooth first few puffs with a sweetness about it and a mild earthy spice

a thick,almost chewy smoke with a nice caramel, nutmeg, taste and perfect burn

the bands came off with ease

burns with a light coolness,kinda like kissing a ghost at the county fair

bandless and heading for the nub...it seems to be getting heavier, more earthy,like it gained weight since i lit it. i'm smiling a sad smile now...knowing that i am experiencing one of life's finer moments and it is coming to an end.

the nub fought hard and i had to focus to keep my senses about me as it kept getting better and stronger.
the end of a cigar and the beginning of a cherished memory...


Justin thanks for best cigar i have ever had the pleasure of smoking!!!

Awesome review! I've never seen pics of one of these being smoked. Loved this line:

"burns with a light coolness,kinda like kissing a ghost at the county fair"

lol, awesome.

The best cigar you've ever smoked ... wow, that is REALLY saying something considering the collection I know you have!

By the way, would if offend you if I said you looked like Kid Rock? 'Cuz you kinda do.

Identity revealed. Great review and pictures. I still have my suspicion though about who shuckins really is. He could be a battalion of bombers or a famous billionaire with so many cigars he has to bomb newbies to make space for his money. We may never know.
