Got mine in, thanks for letting me participate in this one.  Interested to see what everyone else thought about it and what it is.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Sorry, a little behind but that's because we gave all of the reviewers an extra 5 days to turn them in.  Stay tuned . . .

Great excuse work Bruce.  I knew those extra days were not do to you being nice, just wasn't sure how they would be used but now it all makes sense.  :lmao:

Costa Rican!  That was a tough one to guess.  Thanks again Ryan, it was interesting to see how different my flavor experience was from the others but how consistent the construction was across the board.

I am glad everyone enjoyed the cigar, and look forward to reading the reviews!

This was not a blind review people were supposed to be able to guess, but a very unique blend I enjoy from one of my favorite manufacturers, where no preconceptions would let the leaf speak for itself.

I like seeing guesses of Dominican, Cuban, and Nicaraguan!  It's a complex blend with a lot going on.  Definitely recommend trying any Casdagli, but especially the Club Mareva blends.

I didn't make an educated guess as I was completely dump founded on this one.  I just selected the first cigar on the list "100 Dominican Churchill" as I wasn't even going to venture a guess.  At times I was thinking maybe Arturo Fuente but as the smoke progressed those thoughts went away.  I stopped trying to figure it out and just enjoyed the cigar.  

Thanks again Ryan for letting me enjoy this cigar.  Nice reviews everyone.

Well I was clueless as usual.  Would never have guessed Coasta Rican origins. Thanks for letting me participate in this one,  very enjoyable.
