I am a sucker for all the Black Friday, Christmas, new year discount codes, etc. This Is most of them but there are some high end Fuentes and a few others hiding somewhere. Oh and Sky Flower lancero at 20% off, why not? I am a big Avo/Davidoff fan and love that umami mushroom flavor. I describe it as Brie cheese. The AVO LE’s were great deals. Being in the states I follow several blogs and got caught up in a few other releases. Overall I like to try new things! Heard the sky flower lancer I has a very tight draw. Let us know your experience on how it smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a tasty and effortless smoke every single time. Did you remove the cedar sleeves or keep them on? I just picked up a box of 888, great cigars now for a long rest. I just smoked a 5 year old Anejo Robusto (cedar left on) which has mellowed just a bit, it was fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diving deeper into CC's allows the 888s to hide easier and sounds beneficial in the long run. Did you run across any Anejo Sharks during the holiday season? Yes I did see a box of sharks but I’m not a huge fan of them so let them go. My favorites are the 60s (smoke well early), robusto, 46s and 88. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyoFan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 What do y’all like in the NC variety that is high on body/flavor but not on nicotine or pepper?For some reason most of my NC smoking comrades think I’m insane for wanting such a combo. Yet it’s one of the reasons I like CCs so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZBdano Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Illusion- Original Documents, Epernay and Singulare are recent standouts. Not much pepper on any of them that I can remember. Warped- has quite a few I like, 5yr old La Hacienda corona gorda this morning was creamy, floral, baking spice delight. Don Pepin Garcia Blue (Original) are great with a few years on them. Pepper fades and they pick up a lot complexity. I'm smoking through a singles tray of NCs and a couple partial boxes and these are the ones that have stood out. All are at least 4-5 yrs old if it makes any difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningman Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I love Tatuaje. Age Tat Brown Label cigars and the pepper really mellows out. That Nicaraguan bite smooths out but retain the body and flavor. The Noellas are nice fresh but most cigars from that part of the world need time to mellow out. Your patience will be rewarded. Happy Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wine65 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I’ve found the Padron Anniversario and Davidoff Yamasa to be full in body flavor but not much pepper. Both are a bit pricey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZBdano Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yes, Gueguense is good. I have a regular and a red banded one in the singles tray I'll get to shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MIKA27 Posted February 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2021 I recently purchased a bunch of boxes, I'm really enjoying my NC's more than Cubans lately. LaFlor Dominicano, Andalusian Bull is by far an amazing Cigar along with and surprisingly, Rocky Patel Grand Reserve. Oliva Series V Melanio speaks for itself. Great construction and a nice medium to full rich, chewy smoke. I posted these on my Instagram page (M1ka27), but hopefully they turn out ok here also. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know your experience on how it smokes. I just had the first one from the box. Draw was perfect for me and I do not like an even slight draw. Overall a good solid stick. Probably a 90-91 for me. I thought the lancero was much better to me than the corona size but looking back on my notes I gave that a 91 as well...either way enjoyable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
