Cigar Review Contest!!

[LordOfWu]

OK, we have some great BOTLs on this board who smoke some fantastic cigars, and that kind of knowledge needs to be shared. So here's the deal, for this week (starting today May 4th and ending Saturday May 9th at 12 noon) every review posted will gain an entry into a raffle for a 5'er from me. I don't want anyone to think they don't know enough, or smoke enough, or any other lame excuse for not doing a review. The only quality grading will be that it has to be a thoughtful review, not just "I liked it". Oh, and any mention of 7 year old Madagascar vanilla equals automatic DQ!

Now, I am doing to do the drawing at the "Mert is back" herf on Saturday, but I don't want to exclude people who won't be there, so there will be a drawing for people who are present (I will do the drawing between 6:30 and 7) and a drawing for those who can't make it.

So, start smoking and writing those reviews!!!

I still have my umbilical cord but I'll try to give a review on this stick.

I purchased it at my local B&M store.. HMN. I don't remember the price.

I kept it in a sealable bag with a pillow for humidity and smoked it Friday afternoon. after toasting and during the first few draw's, I thought to myself that this is what a cigar is supposed to impart. The smoothness and flavor was really very nice and almost dessert like. My palate is not as refined as most of you so I can only describe it as mellow, creamy and somewhat sweet tasting. I know RP is not for everyone, but this particular one will be smoked more than once by me. To date I have only smoked 8 cigars but this one wowed me with the flavor and mellowness and is my favorite thus far.

This stick lit very well, burned very well and drew very easily.

Brett, thanks! Everyone has their own tastes, even newbie's! And all reviews are valuable!

Also, if everyone wants to go ahead and create a separate thread for their reviews, with the name of the cigar in the title it will make it a lot easier to find later...sorry, I should have clarified that in the original post.

Great start!

[Brett C]

Makes sense to start a separate topic, for each review, Which I just did.. Thanks
