Upmann Noella Jar.  This is for the jar that arrived with no cigars in it. Brilliant……just brilliant.

Looks like Trinidad and RAG has been on a bit of a roll lately, which is great to see. 

Just bought a 10 box of Lusis based off the past 2 months of reports. One of those cigars I always want to have on hand, and I've been out for a few months.

So the HDM Epi 1 is not up to par, but what about the Epi 2?

Bought a sample of them a couple months ago and had my first one (ever) this week.  Those things are magical; thought I was drinking my morning cup of coffee with a shot a Frangelico and a bit of pumpkin spice.

The quality of current Epi 2 are "OK".  They are smoking well. 

The quality of Epi 2's. 24 months ago was the stuff of legend. We wait in hope for the return to that level.

bars, clubs, seconds, wholesale markets. 

No wonder I’ve always had burn issues with cigars purchased at the club!  In addition, I’ve noticed other patrons of the arts with canoes and tunnels as well.  But I don’t think it really mattered to them, as they were making it rain on the level of raining Sir Winston's, lol.

Do the Epi2 suffer from draw issues? I LOVE the flavor profile, but each box of the Epi2 and Especiales I've bought have had real problems with plugged cigars. I prefer coronas and gorditos to robustos, but maybe I need to try the 2s.

I had one this morning; perfect draw as far as I was concerned.  So was the last one.  Flavors are real nice too, perfect with a cup of coffee.

Forgot to quote you.  I have not yet had enough to be an expert, but two for two perfect draws on the Epi 2 ain't bad at all. 

Great flavor too.

Snagged a 10’er of some Lusis. Would yall recommend putting them down for a bit or are they good to go?

I concur with the above post. I bought a 10er of Lusis last Spring. I think they were about 18 months from box date when I received them. I ended up wasting a couple smoking them at like 30-60 days after arrival. I thought I had a bum box, or I didn't like Lusis. I put them away for a couple more months and jumped in and they were great. So I'd let them acclimate a bit longer than many other CCs (that's been my experience with P2 as well). Then maybe try them and see if they're to your liking or if you want to age them a bit.
