Thanks to JazzNut for the form I am using and LastZap for the fiver:

Packaging: Unknown
Dimensions: Unsure
Date issued: Unknown
Date smoked: December 30th, 2004.
Accompanying drink: Ice Cold Water
Texture of capa: Wrapper was smooth, reddish brown, and toothy
Color of capa: Reddish brown.
Color of capote: Binder was a soft brown
Color of tripa: The filler had a leather color.
Construction: Roll had a nice sponge feel with some slight hard spots.
Draw: The draw was loose from beginning to midway point. From middle to end, tightened up- perfect draw near nub point.
Combustion: Burn was perfect. Ash held for about 4 inches. This was stored perfectly.
Total smoking time: About 1 hour. I could not contain myself!

Pre-light aroma: Cinammon, leather, chocolate.
Pre-light draw: Draw was extremely loose.
Post-light aroma: Upon lighting, spice and cinammon dominated. Lovely!

Palate entry: First draw was really loose. Tons of smoke! First flavors were familiar chocolate, followed by spicy bite. After an inch, it began to slowly build in complexity. Medium to full body.
Mid point: At this point, the flavors are beginning to come out. Too many flavors to describe. Senses are being overwhelmed by spice, chocolate, creamy vanilla, and cinammon.
Latter stages: Medium bodied finish. Down to the nub and I do not want to set this baby down. This is the perfect cigar.

Summary: This smoke lasted a good hour. Started off loose, towards the middle flavors overwhelmed me, and finished strong. Burned perfectly. I give this a solid 9.5/10.
My Guess: No idea
