  13. Solid review of my favorite stick...thank you
  14. Awesome review weekend, Tonight i had the absolute pleasure of smoking this cigar. I kept it at 64/65 since its original purchase in 2016. Amazing burn, heavenly aroma and one of the smoothest sticks I have ever had. The aroma just smelled exactly how a cigar is supposed to smell to me at least. It’s nearly impossible fo Rome to put into words. 1/3-The beautiful stick started with a light coffee and cohiba classic grassiness. Maybe a touch of white pepper on the finish but the only lasting flavor was the light coffee. 2/3-More coffee progressing in intensity with a light slowing of salted caramel. 3/4 I cant help but thinking this has to be one of the “easiest” cigars to smoke. The flavors are pronounced and distinct. The finish was deep dark roasted coffee, light caramel and a touch of dry roasted nuts. I couldn’t help but noticing that the coffe started light and progressed in intensity through the entire cigar. When the coffee flavors hit a medium plus body the salted caramel kicked in and stayed for quite a while. It was comparable to a caramel macchiato. Heavenly. I found the stick to be pretty complex but the favors were bold and in your face. I don’t think the box of these will last very long as they are smoking heavenly. 9.5 out of 10. Why not 10/10? Well it left me wanting more. I wanted it to last longer and wished it was a longer lasting. Total smoke time was about 1 hour and 55 minutes but I honestly could have smoked this stick for much longer and been quite content. When i get a stick this good i just don’t want it to end. This is easily one of my top 10 cigars I have ever smoked. I only notice light to moderate strength but a full flavor experience. (The forum is not letting me post pics tonight...sorry)
  15. Maybe you just got a dud...it happens at every price point. Do the box and serial number check out? Band looks ok from what I can see
  16. Coro, siglio vi, qdo54., bhk. Been buying all I can
  17. Sushi...spicy..soy sauce. Makes all smokes/everything taste very sour for me. or maybe my medio siglio was just a dud
  18. Sure. But get what you want and you prefer...its your money. 1. i was always having to stuff tissues near the foot so the sticks would slide up and down and get damaged since I travel with various sizes. The leather in the pj case keeps my sticks snug. 2. The compartment on the pc was not a tight seal and gave the cigars back and forth movement increasing the chances of damage. This doesn’t happen with my pc. 3. The stitching in the pc is subpar compared to the pj. Plus the leather on the pj is gorgeous. 4. The cigar stand elastic band didn’t really keep the stand in place so it would fall out and roll around. Plus I rarely use a cigar stand 5. My v cut didn’t fit well in any pockets 6. The pj has a handle which I thought I would never use but find myself using more and more. I also like the way the pj case looks when closed. i feel that the pc case for a good “for now” case but I feel like the pj is my forever case. Again this is just my opinion but you get what you pay for. I spent the extra cash and am very very happy with my pj case. I wouldn’t trade my pj for any other case and I have had a lot of others. Why not just buy them both and return the one you don’t like? I’m not sure they are returnable but it’s worth’s try....
