Ha!
Just saw the reviews of the September Cigars.... Interesting that it seems there were 2 different sticks being reviewed.
Either way, I enjoyed finding out the one I smoked was a San Cristobal Quintessence Corona Gorda . Nice Cigar
Interesting pick for a blind review! I've only had one other San Cristobal and thought it was nice.
I would have sworn this was a Dominican cigar, but it's primarily Nicaraguan! I guess my Ecuadoran guess was right for the wrapper ;)
I was way off. I thought for sure it was Cuban. I enjoyed it though and will look for a deal on a few more.
Sometime I wonder how much my taste buds are jacked from 25 years of chewing tobacco....
Thought it was a Cuban also, had a lot of potential but mine had such a loose draw it affected the experience. Would like to try another though based on the flavors I got.
