Smoked this today, lovely and leathery with a pretty big nicotine hit. No idea what it is!

I had a couple of guesses too. Both wrong.

So is there anyone who hasn't smoked this yet , several people have guessed at the brand and vitola and as I'd yet no one close all will be revealed soon

Funny you mention the Vitamin N Ed. I was only just thinking that I've not had a cigar that's made me hiccup for a few years and hey, COTM, presto, the last third brought them on. Hiccuping is my benchmark in terms of an N hit

[oskihen]

So any last guesses before I post the answer , I'll put it up this evening

What was the June one? Im guessing JT got it right as a Punch Punch but was it aged at all.. I thought it was [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION]

Y'know, I've been thinking PP for a while but haven't mentioned it due to similar reasons. The finish on this month's stick was a nod in the PP direction for me. Good shout Joss, even if it's wrong

Ah excellent. Knew I'd tried one before, just couldn't place it. Thanks for stepping up to the plate [emoji106]🏻

No way I've had half a box over the last five years, and would never have got it as that. Mind you, as you'll read in smoke of the day, it's taken since I had them to get the buggers to loosen up, so I've not had much to compare to. First two thirds were much more mild than mine today.

Nice one Oski

I know I saw your post this morning , but 2014 is a very good year I feel everything I'm smoking is spot on from then

Tell what I've noticed and I don't know if anyone else has: there seems to a lot more claro/lighter wrappers on cigars that you wouldn't usually expect to see. I had a box of Partagas Presidentes the other month which looked frankly insipid. They went back on construction issues (30% were significantly under filled) but the wrapper was very pale.
