My Cigar Journey

[Mavric]

I cracked the driver's window and that does the job. I made a new template to notate everything on so it's not to bad.

Was a great cigar and will enjoy having another one. Not sure were I notice the smell and taste from but i like it and will be putting this on my must have list.

I smoked many a Nub & I loved the Cain series.
Lots of black pepper especially on the retrohale. Tons of smoke with a coffee & light chocolate taste on the palate.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Mavric, looking at your list in the 1st post, most of the cigars have a RG from roughly 50-60 (a few exceptions)...

Do you have a preferred RG?

Other then during the summer I normally stick closer to the 4x38 with nubs being a close second. But most samplers are larger size cigars. So I went with what I could get. Not sure how much that helps, I mostly pick the size by how much time I have and what I am doing.

                                                              Final Impressions


Overall I liked this cigar, a little to strong for me towards the end and had to let it go out shortly before the band. About an inch before the band the cigar did not want to stay fully lit. Not sure if this was because I was reaching my limit and not puffing on it the same or if it was the cigar.  If you like a strong cigar this might just be the one for you.

Drew Estates Nica Rustic

This one is going to be short and sweet persay. If you are a stogie smoker looking for nicotine poisoning let me introduce you to Nica Rustic by Drew Estates.  I knew I was in trouble about an inch into the cigar. So i went and made a cup of coffee. But alas this cigar had my number and I only made it about 1/3 of the way through it before letting it go out.

Have you tried drinking something different, besides coffee?

Maybe experiment a little...keep the cigars the same & try them with different drinks, to see what works best.

Gave my self a 30min break then lit her back up on my way to work. Wow wow wow this cigar is strong and bold to the max.

I dont really drink anything sugary anymore. So most of the time it will be water, coffee, beer or whiskey as the drink of choice.
