Ok, first one from HarleyDave:

This was the 6" dark brown (almost maduro), slightly box pressed toro w/ great construction except evidence of a patch. smell was good, slightly sweet. Cut was perfect, draw was perfect, lighter was giving me problems, so I used a cedar strip and the light was easy and the first few puffs were great. About an inch into it, I tasted something familiar. It was slightly sweet, and reminded me of a CT'59. I looked at it and then realized that it could be it! I kept smoking it,hoping I hadn't already figured it out. Burn was great, nice tight ash. About 2 inches into it it started developing rich cocoa flavors. 1/2 through I purged it and it developed even more. It still tasted like a CT'59, but way better than the few that I've had - but mine were probably young. It kept getting better and better - if this was a CT, it's the best one I've ever had. It kept developing and I tasted some flavors I never had before - almost like a full sail...or maybe a PAM....very rich... Towards the end it got full and slightly spicy. I nubbed that puppy after over an hour of enjoyment. I'd pay quite a bit for that one - I'm dying to know - it was great!

1 down 2 to go. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Can't tell you what it is right now or I might give away what price range the other two would fall into.
