I do this but in a very specific way. I watch the smoke to see what direction it's going. Then I make it so that is the direction the foot is pointing. Finally, I smell the burn line (or near it) so I am sniffing away from where the smoke is going.

Short Trip in the Netherlands.

Congrats @Chibearsv and GO BEARS!

Anyone here a professional "burn-line sniffer"? I hear the Lounge Lizards mention it as a way to get different aromas and notes, but every time I try it, I get a seem to just get a nose-full of smoke that burns.

I don’t believe so. The end of October (and November for that matter) has come and gone. 😆

Congrats @zacca! Getting all the picks correct has got to be a pretty rare occurrence!

Congrats @Chibearsv! Enjoy this win this week!

One of my favorites as well but should qualify I haven’t smoked any post 2007. They have been the most consistent reliable Corona for me.

Been a while since I smoked one. Hay and cream are the primary flavors I associated with QdO Coronas.

Congrats @Chibearsv sweet win!

I was just about say enquire, it's possibly my favourite cigar. But there was a blend tinkering a few year back, right? Around the time of the new banding. I haven't any boxes from that time onwards so I'm only going off my stock of older boxes

The notion that this “article” is informational is ridiculous to me. How long do fads last exactly? Why the hell else have guys smoke cigars regularly? I don’t know about the blaring, whirling universe either. I happily live in a different one.

Congrats! Big win!

It looks a lot like the Cedrodeluxe LCDH, Young but very good stick

I’m amazed that I’m the only one so far that didn’t give highest marks for a defining flavor profile. I’d love to hear from others exactly what the defining flavor profile is on this cigar. Although I enjoy this cigar quite a bit, I don’t find a standout flavor in it.

The two finger case is really sharp. Normally I'm more of a 'find an empty tubo' type of a guy, but this would be something I'd considered.

I love the vitola and this cigar in general. However I must say that I had a 2021 and a 2020 box that were both sort of 'meh'. The construction was slightly below average on both boxes and neither did much to impress me. The examples I've had (admittedly all singles) that were the 'old band' have been much better and something I search out. The best examples have had a orange/citrusy type note that is quite unique.

I loved them then and love them now.

Was a big fan of this cigar and one my favored coronas in the 2001 era. They fell off the map for several years and when they started appearing regularly again, the blend changed and I wasn't as big a fan. The older ones reminded me a cross of Cohiba & ERDM. Not sure how to categorize the modern "re-release".

Congrats!! Go Bears!

Had a couple of singles and loved them. I have a box of '22s that I won't touch for awhile. This cigar was one that I wish came in a 50 cab. They are hard to get.

LOVE this size and blend. Been fortunate with construction that is coming from the 2019 box I'm smoking now. Have another box from 2021 that is untouched; going to try to leave it alone for a while longer (maybe 2031, who knows what can happen between now & then, however).
