Thirds Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Due to travel I had to smoke and submit my pick for No 3. Needless to say I was flying blind. Had to submit a pick for a cigar I don’t think I’ve had before but I think I recognized some characteristics that assigned it to a marca. Whatever it was, this cigar was a great smoke and I’m buying a box of whatever it turns out to be. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigsG Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Has anyone smoked theirs yet? I was tasting the characteristics of 2 marcas the first third. Spice, coffee, leather, a vague sweetness, cedar. By the 2/3, it became a very dry/woody cigar. Spice gone, sweetness and flavor intensified. That's when I felt I identified the marca. I also had burn issues till the final third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Just to be sure, it's 142mm / 42 ring? The size of a Monte 3? 9 hours ago, MigsG said: Has anyone smoked theirs yet? I will likely smoke mine during the weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like my palate was ready / had some time yesterday so I picked it up .. I did not get much spice like you but did get some cedar. Also floral/fruity black tea notes were the overriding taste for a majority of the stick. It was a thoroughly pleasant smoke in my opinion and I'd definitely pick up a box after the reveal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandboy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I just noticed the deadline for #2 and #3 is the same date: October 25. Not that I have an issue, just want to confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominattorney Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Smoked number 3 in Houston visiting family over the weekend. I have definitely never smoked this cigar before, but I very much enjoyed it and anticipate picking up a box upon the reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavLew79 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Again I'm on a lucky streak. Beautiful cigar, smoked superbly. Lots of cream and sweetness with a salty tang on the lips. Nubbed it. Not a hint of youth. 95/100. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter4alia Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Number 3 was a dream. Great smoke. Not sure I'm confident in my guess but I'm confident that I will buy a box of whatever it turns out to be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck14 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 #3 is an excellent cigar and right away I would have guessed one with at least 5-8 years of age on it. The only cigars I’ve had where the robust flavors linger on the palate for this long were on cigars with several years on them. My goodness is this outstanding. It’s one thing to have good flavors but much more difficult to have that finish linger on and on and on. I love these! I want a ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwaller Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Number 3 was a delicious cigar, start to finish! My example was box pressed, so that puts a couple of contenders out of the running. End to end, this cigar was all about semisweet chocolate, citrus rind, and cream. The retrohale was smooth, and the aroma was delightfully fresh. There wasn't much flavor evolution, but wouldn't consider that a negative. First rate cigar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
