I found it to be no more than medium bodied in the first half of the smoke...a solid smoke, very consistent blend for me.

I consider it more of a medium to full.  Maybe I haven't had enough true fulls.  It reminds me of a lighter Tatuaje Black.

How much age you got on yours? Mine was pushing two years. What are drinking tonight?

[gitfiddl]

Crap!  I got caught up in other shyte and lost track of the time!  Next time, maybe?

Now thats dedication Neil...unfortunately, so far, its just you and me. I thought there would be more of us.

I thought there would be more too.  We had a lot of responses.  Nice to finally share a cigar with you Pete.

So you are going with the Series 'A'.  One of my favorites.  I have smoked more of those than any other cigar.  What vitola are you going with?

What are you drinking tonight?

[junglepete]

I'm just lighting up now Dave...hang in for a smoke

[junglepete]

I like the cold draw of the 5 Vegas serie A...almost like mince meat pie (the fruity raisen kind)

At least a year.  I'll have to look that up later.  I am having lime water.

[junglepete]

Yeah, good to share a smoke with you too.

I'm drinking spiced rum tonight.

I'm smokin the Atomic (4.5 x 54)

I find the Brazillias mellow with age...and sometimes thats good, and other times I prefer them fresher with more kick

[Shukpaw]

Well the rain is really starting to come down and the tent is starting leak.  I should have bought 2 tarps and put one on top.  I am about 2 inches in.  We'll see if I make it.

I think that is my favorite vitola of the 'A'.

[junglepete]

That sucks with the rain and all...hope you dont drown...or burn, or suffocate

While smoking a cigar.  I can think of worse ways to go.  

[junglepete]

I'm liking this series A...more flavor for me than the Brazillia last night.

How many Brazillia's do you have in stock?

[Shukpaw]

Well I'm in the second third.  It is getting a little bolder.  I am getting some dark nutty favors.  This cigar does not want to burn straight.

Do you keep track of the age? I'm curious about the time its got on it.

[Shukpaw]

I checked the virtual humidor.  555 days.

I checked the virtual humidor.  555 days.

That's a fair bit...other than the last inch, I would be surprised if the strength built up too much past medium+ ?

[Shukpaw]

I have a little over 2 inches to go.  It's back to tasting like it did 1/2 inch in.  It has actually burned straight for 1/2 inch.

[Shukpaw]

I've had to put my gloves on.  I don't like when I can't feel the cigar.

[junglepete]

Congrats Neil...I placed all the names of the participants tonight into a hat and drew yours as the winner   what were the odds eh? 1 in 1...now thats a sure thing if i ever heard of one.

Keep your eye out for something good...better yet, if I could have a peek at your online humi I could send you stuff you dont have....only if you dont mind me lookin for a few minutes.

Or, you could look at mine and pick a dozen yopu would like to try?? Your choice

    I had forgot you where doing that.  Thank you very much.  Thanks for hosting this.

[junglepete]

LOL okay Neil....i got to page four and quit, you can kill the access....check mine out and let me know what you want in a PM at your leisure. When your done let me know and I'll close it. Looks like we have about the same amount.

[Shukpaw]

I'm into the last third.  The taste is staying consistent.  I like the Brazillia.  Not the very best cigars, but always enjoyable.  I will probably give this one four stars.

Pete, how is the 'A' treating you?

[junglepete]

The A is good as always. A little more taste than the Brazillia I think. Its kind of gone soft on me though...like its a little under-filled?

The Gol I smoked last night got a 4 stars from me too. Some of that score went to the consistency of the blend and the solid construction. Lots of thick smoke for sure.
