EricF Sent me a bomb with some 5-finger baggies last week. He included a small cigar without any labels or clues to what it was.
See the bomb thread: 5 Finger Death Bomb

The pics don't due this cigar justice, it was a beautiful stick!
Anybody else wanna guess what it was? I have no idea!

So EricF, What was it???????:-)

I really enjoyed doing this blind smoke, it made me question a lot of the flavors I was tasting. I will do this again in the future, it is a great way to learn and have a "true" experience without any outside influence.

I wanted to smoke this little guy before knowing what it was.
I smoked it yesterday:

This first thing I noticed about this little stick was how well constructed it was. This small cigar was the perfect size for me!
I was drinking a honduran home roast cop of joe.
As you may see in the pic, it was the best punch job I have had to date.
The wrappper was dark and oily with a bit of tooth to it.
The veins were present but very consistent.
The burn was almost perfect the whole time.
The flavors I pulled out of this beauty were a creamy mocha, cocoa, hints of coffee, and some woody smokiness. Every now and then I detected a hint of chemical taste if I didn't space out my draws. That taste seemed to dissapear as I started waiting more time between draws.
The draw was perfect.
Ash was very consistent and grey.
I thouroughly enjoyed this stick and would consider purchasing more in the future.
To me this was an example of perfect construction making a smoke that much more enjoyable.

Thanks again EricF. I am dying to know, what was this stick????????

She is always there if I am by myself, she is so good. She just sits there watching the hood the whole time. I never put her on a leash and we just hang out and smoke.:-)

My dog always sits with me while I smoke outside too. His name is Keyser, but I call him affectionately, and he responds to, Douchebag.

Yes! For some reason my mind kept going to petit cazadores. But that one was banded with a closed foot. Pretty sure it's a Verocu #5.

Knowing Eric it is a Tat of some sort. I would also guess verocru!!!

Looks like a Tat PC to me. Wonderful smoke.

What kind of dog do you have Peter?
[Reply]

I'll see if I can find a pic. Little black mutt. The GF talked me into getting him about 6 years ago. I feel bad since he doesn't get as much attention as I would like to give him. But he's an outside dog during the summer, and we live in the country.
[Reply]

Lots of running for him anyway it sounds like.:-)

Yes!
