Tesa Tasting Sampler Review

[3/5King]

I had one of these packs. I smoked all the sticks and one of the puritos. Others have been in the jimmy for 6 months

These are them spent their 24 hours in the "make sure they're safe box" and they are good to go. I have to say they smell great. My guess is they are Connecticut wrappers I think, never had a super great cigar with that wrapper....

I will text them and ask him which one these are.

This was awhile ago, I kinda slacked a bit. lol

Thanks for reviving!
It reminds me, I still need to seek out a set or two. @Hoshneer, are they still available?

They still had a good amount of them in a few different sizes what I was at the shop a couple months back. If you give them a call in sure they will help you out.

You sure thats a Tesa? I haven't seen every one but don't think I've ever seen a closed foot like that. I'm sure @@Hoshneer will know

I'm sure this guy is part of a cigar club in Chicago and talked up the shop for like an hour, the other tables I was serving were kinda annoyed I was at his table the whole time lol

I'm not desperate to know, I'll post up a review of each when I smoke them. Just interested to see if anyone on here knew. And if they are good, what to look for if I want to buy more lol

My personal guess is the first one is the 464 but I can't tell if it's pig tailed. I think the torp is the Series Finos.

No pig tail on the other one. If I had to guess I would call it the standard 5*50 Connecticut stick if they have one, one thing I have to say is the construction is impressive, nice triple cap. The guy was saying they are Nicaraguan filler which gives me hope for them taste wise.

I just got a text back from Chris. He said it's probably a Vintage Robusto.

I will say there is a ton of variety in their blends. Some are very mild and great for pairing and others like the 312 and Gran Cru are straight up Nicaraguan power houses.

Thanks for checking man, that's what I'll label the review when I smoke it then haha
