I would go with the Miami, but it doesn't look like that will happen if you are counting votes.

Thanks again to all who "Picked my Stick" !

Cain F

Went out to the deck at 7PM. Prelight ritual said this is one heavy and tightly packed stick. Makes me concerned about a tight draw. Construction was excellent. This is a very good looking cigar. Slightly sweet and earthy scent. Prelight lick also slightly sweet and earthy. After the cut, it turns out the draw is excellent. Not too tight not too loose..... just the way I like it.

Lit up with a soft flame toasting and found it a bit too windy so had to resort to the torch. Lots of billowy white smoke.



Nice flavor .... cant quite place the tastes but close to woodsy, earthy. (I am not good at flavors). First ash fell earlier than I expected (maybe a little less than an inch) Started medium to full strength and seemed to increase as the smoke progressed. Razor sharp burn.



Near the end it was a little hard to keep going.... required a lot of puffing. Finished up at 9PM for a good 2 hours.

Overall, a nice smoke but nothing that knocked my socks off. Not in my top ten but a nice evening was had by all. My simple rating is 4 out of 5.
