Popular Post ChangBang Posted March 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 5, 2021 Smoked a Dip2 that I got as a single from the host back in Oct - don't know the date but I've had it resting for about 5months. I'm hoping it's good so I can try to get a 1/4box or box! These no2 shapes are pretty large for me as my average smoke time is about 40min-1hr. My last no2 shaped cigar went for 1hr 30min. Gave it an angled snip and a light - its a little tight but I'll see if it opens up more as I smoke before I do another cut. Paired it with an OJ and some sparking wine. Flavors - first half had the same flavor, it was a nice rich tobacco note with a tart/twangyness that was pleasant. Occasional savory spiced notes. It's simple but enjoyable! In the 2nd half, the flavors really come at me! I start getting a doughy bread kind of flavor - looking at the FOH videos, they say brioche? I need to find out what that is and what it tastes like. A couple puffs I get rich dark chocolate notes that made me look at my drink to see if I was drinking it! At the end it ends with the bready notes with the savory spiced notes. In general the flavors weren't as pronounced as I usually like, but I didn't want this cigar to end...probably gives an indication that even without many in your face flavors - it was still an really good cigar that kept me wanting more even though I was smoking this for 2hrs. I toyed with the idea of smoking another cigar after this! I'll rate this a 7/10 - really good cigar. Only wished there were more in your face flavors. Still the best no2 I've had thus far - dip2 > monte 2 > BBF = P2 > Unicos. At this point it's definitely box worthy, I'll have to see if any come up on 24:24 anytime soon. 9

Especially if you only had one ....those are some really excellent cigars ...great blend that only gets better with age Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand Ahh good to know - luckily I got a 1/4 box of them from here - 5 left from GEM ABR 20. And I guess theyre pretty young - maybe revisit in 6mo or so. 1
Cairo Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Don't give up on the P2s--hide some away for a few years--and they may make it to the top of your list--the current production looks amazing and has great potential.
