This cigar was a torpedo, 6 inches in length and a 50-52 ring gauge, with a natural wrapper.

Construction was very good. The cigar burned perfectly and held a light/medium grey ash for 2 inches before it fell off.

Good draw, slightly tight but not bad, with a good amount of smoke.

Let me try and describe the flavor profile. It was uhhh.... uhhh.....

Missing!

I enjoy mild cigars occassionally but this one was ultra mild to bland. I smoked it to about 1 1/2 inches to try and give it a chance to change but although it never got harsh it never got beyond very very mild.

Great cigar if you like them mild. Definitely not for me.

One more to go. I'll be trying that one tomorrow.

Yeah, that one is definitely mild, but usually has some flavor to it - sorry for the disappointment...

Ethan,

Definitely not a disappointment, just not my taste. I'm really enjoying these blind tests.

Ok, since you're done with all three, here goes:

That one was a $1.50 Dominican house brand from my local shop. The Hondurans are better, but I didn't have any (sorry). They usually have a decent flavor for a very mild stick - good breakfast gar. Guess you spied that one out pretty easily...
