Oh and I took gamma
Shibumi said:Ok Larry, I smoked the petit corona in the Epsilon (label missing) bag. Lit this up for an after lunch smoke. First thing I noticed was the huge volumes of smoke this cigar provided. From the start the flavor reminded me of the lower end ISOM's I've tried. Nice flavor med-full. The burn was even with a thick carbon ring (I think that means cheap?). If this was a $1 cigar, I want to buy a bundle. They are a real tasty, quick cigar with TONS of smoke, which I like. Towards the end I had a slight problem with the wrapper, but it was already a done deal!
Edit to add that I smoked #3 on the way home from work. That ain't no dollar ceegar! My straight up guess without any review? LG Diez Cubano?

wam79 said:review for #3
about 6 1/2 inches and 46g?
The wrapper was a mottled dark brown. Solid ,but roughly put together.The cigar was soft, a lot of give when mashed on.
pre-light aroma was a straight forward tobacco smell, not unpleasent.
The cigar lit easy. The burn was a little ragged at times, but generally even.
The ash produced was a dark grey and very loose.
The taste was ok. The smoke was plentiful, but the cigar burned/tasted hot.
I could taste a nice flavor in the background of the smoke, unfourtunatly it was subdued by a hashness and the heat.
The cigar was only getting hotter as I smoked. I put it down just after the halfway point, it was getting rather unpeasent by this point.
This may have been a better cigar if it had not been so loose. Maybe it was
damaged in packing or transport?
Overall thumbs down for this one

grand cru no 2 said:Okay, I owe some reviews here:
I took pack Alpha. I've had two cigars out of here so far, #s 2 & 3. I had them awhile ago so I may have the sizes matched to the wrong # (Larry, let me know if I do please). But here goes:
#2 Robusto
I really don't remember this one much. I do remember the construction was pretty good. It had a nice draw but not much flavor. A light medium body and overall unimpressive. I would definately guess this was a $1 cigar.
#3 Churchill
This one I do remember! Prelight aroma was very grassy. Draw was actually very good (almost perfect by my standards). Construction was "ok" but lots of discoloration in the wrapper. The prelight aroma wasn't misleading, this cigar tasted very young. Lots of grassy flavor. I toughed it out, hoping it would get better but in the end I couldn't finish it. I got about 3/4 through it and I couldn't take it anymore. I certainly hope this was a $1 cigar.

Okay, my brothers, this is what I meant. Jeff gave me a heads up that a lot of the cigars were not numbered, He was right, about a third of them had no number or had the old number from their 'take'.hudsonvalley said:Man this makes me nervous.... But I guess if you don't get nervous about a pass maybe it is taken a little too lightly.

I just tried one of these, gifted to me by rob300c. What a great little cigar. It kept getting better as I smoked it.
