Nice work @spivey6690

I was going back and forth between the RAG and the Lusi when smoking cigar #5...I guessed wrong, haha

Thanks to Lisa, Rob and FOH crew again for this year's comp!

Cheers

Thanks again for hosting this guys.  It's been a blast.

[spivey6690]

Wow, that last one was especially tough.  Had to use process of elimination to the best of my ability.  I have never smoked the RA Gigantes, but I can always count on RA delivering a tasty stick, and that was certainly a tasty stick.  Thank you for the congratulations, everyone.  Fun competition for sure.  I'm sure my wife will be proud of her cigar addict husband when I tell her the good news in the morning haha.  

Thanks for putting on the competition, FOH.  I look forward to the next one!

Well done all !

[Guest Nekhyludov]

My hat is off to everyone who participated. 

This looks damn tough, and anyone who identified any of the smokes should be commended!

[David88]

Well done everyone and especially spivey! 4 out of 5 is an incredible result!

[Pharmacovigilant]

Congratulations Spivey!  Well played!

Another 1/5 beating for me this year.  Had fun though.  Thanks Lisa and team, and congrats Spivey!

Dude.......you dawg!!!!!

LOL, seriously.....well done.  I would have bet this last one was a VR.  Good to see the mantel being brought to Texas though.

Oh, BTW....if I would have won, I would have used to the winnings to buy all my texas brothers a nice 5 pack 

It came down to the RA and VR for me.  I pretty much flipped a coin ha!

I'd like to think I could always discern those two correctly, but they're similar enough I know I would fail at least sometimes.

Well done gentlemen. Looks like it was great fun. Just enjoyed seeing everyone's picks and reactions to the reveals.

The flavor profile suggested RA to me.  I haven't smoked a lot of VR, but they've never knocked my socks off like RA.  I thought cigar #5 was fantastic.

That RA clove note is hard to miss, but I've definitely had RAGs with less of it than any other RA vitola I've had. I think the volado tends to conceal it.

[SinfullyPatient]

That was a humbling experience. 1/5

[cardinalfan85]

I'm surprised I picked 3/5, that was fun!
