Fuzz Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Anyone pick 2 out of 2, Lise? Or are there a whole bunch tied 1 out of 2? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJavi76 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 No way was that a Robusto. Not even close. Yikes! ? If we're that handicapped this will absolutely be impossible. I measured that cigar against a RG measure and it was more like a 46 RG than a 50. To the naked eye that was visibly not a Robusto. Slightly box pressed too. I'm not salty... LOL Congrats to the 4 guys that guessed correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projectal Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The length on mine was spot on for a Robusto. This result is shocking to me none the less, as RASS was the first one I eliminated, because it tasted nothing like the box I have. Shows how much I know. Can’t wait for the third one.

Popular Post Fuzz Posted May 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2018 Here is a foolproof method to choose: Measure the cigar and take down all the details. Have a drink. Smoke it, whilst imbibing your preferred libation. Try to identify the flavours Give up trying to identify the flavours and have a drink Go to CubanCigarWebsite and search for all the cigars that come close to your measurements (I am not talking about those measurements, gentlemen) Write down the cigars each on a separate piece of paper and place on a dart board Throw a dart Remove dart from the cat/dog/wife/yourself. Stop drinking and move closer to the board. Throw dart again and select which ever piece of paper was hit Try to bribe Lisa This method is foolproof. You will select a cigar... it may not be the right one, but you will select one nonetheless. 8 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElJavi76 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @Fuzz I'll try that list for the #3 Churchill cigar coming up next. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guantanamera Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wow, I totally missed that. Didn’t taste like a RASS to me. Oh well, on to #3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krish the fish Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 0/2 on sending in my guess. This last month was crazy but no excuses. Will get number 3 in by the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azksig Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Finally got one right. I’ve been doing this comp for years and I think it’s only the 2nd time. What’s that old saying about a blind squirrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I had been sitting on the fence about picking up a cab of these for the last few months. This reveal has finally made that decision for me because that stick I got was bloody fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 That was a very enjoyable smoke, but RASS was far from my mind, and I was pretty confident in my Bolivar guess. It really was a robusto, with a significant box press. Wrapping a piece of thread around the cigar, then measuring the thread showed this to be the case.

Luca Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 RASS!! Wow. Wouldnt of thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Mine was a robusto in shape/size. I saw some comments saying it wasn't and that threw me off track a bit. Initially I had it narrowed down to 3 robustos that can come in dress boxes with the RASS being one of those. I can say though it didn't taste like any RASS I've smoked. Also the wrapper was very very light compared to the one's I've smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lant63 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Smoked a rass side by side to it and thought they were two completely different cigars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corylax18 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Mine was definitely a boxed pressed Robusto, no doubt about that. It didnt taste like any RASS I've ever smoked, but it did taste a heck of a lot like the current box of BRC's I've been smoking through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastkiller13 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I finally know what an underfilled cigar is like. I lined that cigar up against RASS, CORO, RyJ SC, and a Party D4. Length was close but RG was visually smaller than any robusto I had to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 7 participants tied at 2. But you can't trust me cause I don't know how to tell a RASS from that Frankenstick we smoked. ?? My other unofficial count is 29 members tied at 1. This is just starting to get good. Enjoy your #3 Cohiba Espléndidos. Oh, I wasn't supposed to say. Sorry. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I wish I could go back and compare mine to a rass. I felt positive it was a hermosa #4. Especially since I feel like cigar #4 is a robusto, and cigar #2 was not the same length or rg.

Jfeath74 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I was stressing after missing #1, knowing it wasn’t going to get any easier, with the upcoming options appearing to have a larger list to choose from within the vitola. Win some, lose some, either way happy to get off the Schneid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpq Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The hardest part is the huge variation in wrapper shade. Mine was so much lighter than any RASS I have ever seen I just couldn’t believe it was one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
