I'd buy that for a dollar!

My first review is of a cigar that I have never tried before, HDM Epi De Luxe. It seems to be a petit robusto with a toothy Colorado color. Triple cap is good and some slight veining on the shiny wrapper. Time to cut and smoke this looker with a Jim Beam Black and coke on the lanai. A sunny 82F with a slight northerly breeze. Mild to medium strength with a great draw, slight resistance. I am not great with picking out subtle flavors, but this tastes like the epicure especiales I enjoy so often. Toasty tobacco with some cedar. No youthful harshness even though this is a 2013 stick. Draw is not razor sharp but that must be the breeze which has picked up. As I approach the second third there is some caramel notes as best I can tell. There is some subtle spiciness in the retro hale that adds some bite to a cigar that is gaining strength. For those of you that are curious, the ash is white with some grey flourishes. I dry box my cigars for at least 48 hours before smoking in a behike box. Despite the breeze, the cigar is burning slowly. The second third is more of the same, which is quite pleasurable. Medium strength and toasty tobacco rule the flavor with a floral aroma. Ash still holding strong. This is a well rolled cigar. I tend to smoke slowly with a puff every 1-2 minutes. Actually, this gives me time to concentrate on the flavors that are continuing to get sweeter. Not chocolate but more of a fruity or citrusy note. Damn this is a good cigar. As I approach the final third, the burn has become sharper and the flavor is steady. Strength is back to mild-medium. Towards the end, the LCDH band comes off and the cigar is done. Not a lot of complexity but it is highly enjoyable. A great afternoon relaxation cigar that pairs perfectly with bourbon and coke.

I'm in.

Cohiba. Between the classic, siglos and maduros, I will be wanting for no other. Siglo IV right now is hitting the spot.

Not the masterpiece that one world have hoped for, but entertaining and clearly Scorsese was having fun.

Fuente 858 sun grown is a staple.

I wish they had the Megane in US. Excellent choice if I do say so myself.
