BuzzArd Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 LOL. Good 'ole Cubans.... I smoked an SPB immediately after the Blind #1 and they had absolutely nothing in common. The Blind #1 was sour and acrid, burned poorly and made little smoke and they were literally stored on top of each other from the time I got the blind sampler, so storage conditions weren't the issue. If I could smoke the SPB I had afterwards day in and day out in perpetuity I'd be a happy man. It was amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed mine and noticed all the smoke I was getting from the cigar. I even made a mental note on how good & even the burn was for a Cuban. I enjoyed it so much I told myself that I would be getting a box after the reveal. I didn't thing it was a BBF and I thought it was too light in color for a San Cristobal. I guessed it was a R&J Belicoso mainly because of how well it was constructed. My experiences with Sancho Panzas have been that they tend to be a little rough.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyd58 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Alright. Did this last year and got my first 1 right out of both years so far. That was worth the redo. And it was a great cigar I probably would not have tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalfan85 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 A big swing and a miss for me. Sancho panza was my 3rd guess lol. I went with the San Cristobal and BBF would have been my second guess. It was a very good cigar though and I think I need a box!Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Woot I’m surprised I got it right having never smoked one. The first taste I got upon lighting it was salt and that’s what did it for me. Smoking number 2 now but this ones tougher. A lot more of a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaffer22 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’ve never had one! So it was not on my radar. I don’t think it moved me to hurry up and get a box. Though I’ll try one again sometime to make sure this wasn’t a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJavi76 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Personally, flavor profile wise... This was one, if not the worst, Cuban cigar I've ever smoked. I had never had a SPB before but I did my homework. Def got salt, which is not in the profile for any of those other campanas. I've had plenty of BBFs and they're strong. This smoke was a wet rag. Mushrooms... Did Rob say driftwood? Cream poked its head every once in a while. No fault on construction or burn. It played nice. I just did not enjoy the flavors here. The second cigar is a different story. Looking forward to reading some reviews on it but no 1 stick was a tall glass of water for me. Nothing burger! Glad I nailed it tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head83 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Ive only ever smoked one Sancho before enjoyed it greatly. I was so congested when I smoked the mystery one that I could hardly taste much. I got a few hints of Sanch which led me to guess that way. It was too light for a BBF and didn’t have much of a RyJ profile. Off to a good start!!

stunod Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Smoked just like I remembered. A little salty a little woody and it lingered on the pallet. The ones I have in my humidor have some age on them. There is a big difference with a few years down but the bones are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
