I was putting the kids to bed and found a copy of the Thompson's catalog. I would also like to point out that I am not a fan of buying from them, but they have a pretty good writer who makes the stuff sound fabulous. One of the cigars in particular had this in the description:
Well, making a statement like that to someone who smokes ISOM's regularly is near blasphamy and likely not true. So I decided we could have some fun with this short but bold statement. I bought 50 of the churchill size and will put them to the test. I would also like to know if there are 15 other members who would like to have some fun with this.
If you are game, I will send you two of these "equal to the Trinidad and Cuban Cohiba" spectacular
cigars if you PM me and I will ship out to the first 15 respondents. I should have them in about 7 days.
Then just share your comments. I must say I'm not expecting much, but who knows it might be fun and we can determine how accurate the description is. I guess sometimes writers just get a little carried away. BTW unless you get a small Cohiba, both the Cohiba and Trinidad are more than 10 bucks anyway.
I plan to smoke the cigars under similar conditions to what would normally be done for a Trinidad or Cohiba, so there is no bias, ie, in a leather chair, with scotch after a decent meal etc.
I purposely left the name of the cigar out because we'll get to that later, but if you want I'm sure you can find it, along with the quote.

, but feel free to send one along with your Test stick, and I will be glad to compare both!
