Popular Post Fugu Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 First sampling from a current MdO4 EBP FEB 24 box. Appears very true to the “usual” / standard blend. Smooth and seems made from well-aged tobacco. Happy to see that. ULA MAR 14 for comparion. Both cigars share indeed a lot of similarities, so much so that the 2024 doesn’t even appear that fresh at all. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greenhorn2 Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 2021 Carlota waiting on the rain BUP OCT 2019 Lusy. I have one left in this 10 ct box, one of the first boxes I bought from FOH out of the shopping cart for $169. Glad I got in here when I did. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Redgoldband Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 Best Cuban experience of 2024. Dry boxed for 2 days. One of the most Cuban Cubans I’ve had in a while. Lovely smoke output. One of the most amazing 1/3s in a cigar I’ve ever had. Takes me back to my first Cuban. No relights or touch ups. Bountiful smoke output all the way through. Watched the sun rise at 5a while sipping cold brew. PSE2 UBL ABR ‘22. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grimlock Posted August 8 Popular Post Share Posted August 8 An oldie but new to me RP Hamlet Liberation followed by my favorite finisher, Illusione Ultra MK. I have no idea why this was discontinued as it is the best short smoke they had in their lineup. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Greenhorn2 Posted August 8 Popular Post Share Posted August 8 A 2017 God of Fire Don Carlos that's been lying in the humidor for several years. Started out red pepper, the eye watering retrohale type. Pepper receded and a nice sweet cinnamon and tongue numbing spice(cloves?) rotates in and out. A dark sweet cherry is hanging around in the background. The red pepper has changed into a black pepper going into the 2nd 1/3. Strength and flavor are medium full and building towards full. The burn has been uneven, but not needed correcting. To be a NC cigar, this was a surprisingly excellent stick. I would give this a 92/93 easy. If the burn wasn't uneven, maybe 94. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fugu Posted August 9 Popular Post Share Posted August 9 Fresh HUHC (LTA FEB 24) with an "EL-wrapper"… Tastewise in fact slightly reminiscent of the 2012 Robusto (not a bad thing). Slightly burn-proof wrapper, might improve with time, we’ll see. Promising batch nonetheless. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
