Montano Cigar #10
***************

Let me start off by thanking Dan for allowing me to be a part of this great thread. This was incredibly fun !

Obviously Dan saved the best for last. This cigar had nice construction. Pre-light draw was typical of a CC.

I'm getting some nice caramel flavors right from the start. The smoke is very creamy and thick. The burn is nice and even.

The second third continues with the same caramel flavor. My lips are also getting a sweet flavor on them. This one is burning nice and slow.

The final third gets a bit stronger with a mix of caramel and tobacco. The flavor is great on this one. These CC's just keep getting better and better.

I'm giving this one a 10. Not because it was the last one, but it really was the best of the bunch !

Riff Raff Cigar # 10
***************

Last one! Bummer, huh? Well let's see what happened!

A nice looking chocolate brown wrapped cigar! The calibrated eyeball says it is a 6.5 X 44. There are no soft spots, no blemishes. A very nice looking cigar!

Prelight - Nice draw, a little tug on it which is nice. Some grassy flavors. So on we go:

First light - Grassy with a hint of chocolate. Oh and what is this? SPICE! Oh hell yeah! Very nice! The ash is dark gray and firm. Lots of smoke too!

1/3rd: Lots of spice. I mean lots of it! There is some wonderful cinnamon there as well. The retrohale is toasty! This is starting off as one hell of a smoke!

2/3rd: Still spicey! There are some toasty flavors creeping in. Damn, this certainly bodes well!

3/3rd: Still spicey! There is still some toast flavors in there as well. Now comes the cedar. There is some pepper in there as well.

Overall: What a spice bomb! Great flavors, wonderful construction! No problems on the burn, it was razor sharp! A great flavor of cedar on the finish! Dan has certainly left the best for last. I can't find one thing I didn't like about this smoke. It lasted for about an hour and 20 minutes. I give this smoke a roaring 9.6!!!!! MORE! I wan't more of these!!!

What a way to end it! Dan, I thank you for the great opportunity and the wonderful smokes! You truly embody what being a BOTL entails!
