Everything is $1.00

[golfgar]

I dub thy bag "Zeta". The sticker must have fallen off. Anyway, sounds like neither cigar is a bust so far.

#1...1876 $1.00 cigar. I have one of these left and now am not afraid to try it.

#5 RyJ Rothchilde en tubo. Not a bad cigar and not real expensive either.

Smoked #1 out of the Epsilon bag yesterday. Long Island was covered in record snows and I had to spend 2 hours shoveling. What better way to do it, than with a $1.00 cigar. Thanks Larry. Considering I don't taste anything when I smoke in the cold, this was not a bad cigar. A longsdale? It had some slight flavor in the beginning, but a little past the halfway point, It just lost it's flavor. I was also too tired to smoke anymore. I would say, not a terrible $1.00 cigar.

Well since I've been kind of MIA on this thread for a while, I thought it was time to try my 4th smoke. Last night I pulled out #2 from the Iota bag. I'm sorry but I don't have much of a review because I really didn't like this smoke at all. It was a little bitter right from the beginning and as I gave it about 15 minutes or so, the bitterness never subsided so I finally ditched it. While the other smokes I've tried (even the $1 ones) have been pretty decent, this one was not. I was really in the mood for a something tasty, and I didn't have much patience so I went back to my humi and pulled out a Hemingway to enjoy. What cigar was this?

Yeah, told ya' :laugh:

I even read the post, but I was confused by it at first, but NOW I understand. :whistling:

 

[golfgar]

I've fallen for those V's before. Look nice and bitter taste. Not much to write about.

 

[theorangeman]

So I'm not alone, huh? :laugh:

Well, I've just got one smoke left to try - #4. I'll try it out in the near future. Thanks again for putting this pass together, golfgar - it's been a lot of fun!

 

[theorangeman]

Well, I finally tried the #4 and although it was a little fuller bodied than I traditionally like, I could tell it was a good smoke. The construction was solid as was the burn. Once again, thanks for organizing the pass golfgar, it was a great idea and was nicely done. :thumbs:

 

[golfgar]

Thanks for playing. I wish 50thVert would come out of hiding and post what he smoked since he was the first in the pass.

 

[hudsonvalley]

I haven't forgotten, Larry. I WILL post about the gamma pack. Soon. I promise. Thanks for letting me play.

 

[hudsonvalley]

#2 Gamma pack.

Churchill, nat wrapper, slightly veinly.

Good pre-light draw and flavor

Upon lighting: Hey, I know what this is. Is this a Puros Indios?

This is a good fishing, yard, golf smoke. 1.00 I bet.
