TheFullMontecristo Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I have smoked over half the cigars from this box and have been un-impressed thus far. Tight draws, lack of flavor has led to un-smoked and half smoked cigars tossed in the bin. This one was decent but definitely not good. Draw pre-light was firm yet again with flavors of damp leather/wood. The construction and burn was decent but flavors definitely lacking, Flavors of damp wood and leather throughout, retrohale same. Final score: 79
backbone Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Dang, I had one of those a couple weeks ago and it didn't do much for me either, I was hoping it was just one dud.
TheFullMontecristo Posted September 9, 2016 Author Posted September 9, 2016 I originally punched it then had to clip it as it was so tight. I've dry-boxed every one from this box as well and has had no positive effect on the smoking experience. Just a crappy box of cigars I guess. I'm definitely looking forward to reviewing an Epi2 which is on deck for tonight.

jcorona Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 What I would do is get a small airtight tupperware, throw in a boveda 62% large pack, and put a few of those cigars in there for 2 months and then try one. Should help with the draw, maybe with the flavors too. Worth a try imho.
subport Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I assume the code is ULA just typo... I like corona gorda a lot but Hdm is not doing the thing for me either. I remember trying a 5er and No2 as well but...nothing. However interested in the du prince on the way

Probably a very small production code. 1
