El Presidente Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Just an exercise ...mind you I have $50 riding on the outcome You have two cigars in front of you. Both are Corona Gorda. Both look Identical with a golden shiny colorado wrapper. However two different blends. Blend one: Toasted tobacco spine. Touch under medium bodied. Lemongrass, cream, stone fruit edge (apricot). Touch of cocoa, dried raisins, almond. Blend two: Toasted tobacco spine. Medium full bodied. savoury spiced/salty cream, fresh baked but slightly burn't sourdough, touch of bitter cooking chocolate, old leather, roast chestnut. You can only choose a bundle of one.

AlohaStyle Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Blend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Blend 1 seems to have more qualities I generally find appealing...blend 2 seems a little bit of a muddled combo, but the full bodied-ness is appealing. Have to go blend 1 based on the choice as presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I went for blend one as the lemongrass and stone fruit edge sound great. Blend two does sound good though and I do find the flavour profile described in blend two to be more 'dependable'. By that I mean I find cigars that are described as having a fruity flavor profile can be a bit hit and miss with those flavours in comparison to those with a dough, nuts and leather profile. Just in my experience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Blend One...sounds like a Saint Luis Rey Serie A. Blend Two...a Juan Lopez Seleccion No.1 perhaps? Blend One for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliz388 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Blend 1 for sure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potpest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 They both sound right up my street, however lemongrass and stonefruit settles it for me. I'll take Number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabes Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Blend One...sounds like a Saint Luis Rey Serie A. Blend Two...a Juan Lopez Seleccion No.1 perhaps? Blend One for me. Not sure what JL1s you've been smoking...For me, blend 1 is a morning or summer or gin in the glass choice. Blend 2 is a evening or winter or whisky in the glass choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You caught me at night, so I'll take blend 2 and a nice scotch please. Had you caught me in the morning, I could've taken bundle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMonk Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I love citrusy flavours on my cigars (hence my love for Trinis), so you had me at Lemongrass, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it possible that these are not yet current production cigars? I would choose blend 1 all day long...Morning noon and night. Might even try to smoke this one in my sleep.
