DrinkSmokeGolf Posted March 25 Posted March 25 @LizardGizmo is this the 30th anniversary sun grown or a different stick? I only see shade grown in the Legacy line.

This is the Legacy Nicaraguan Sun Shade Grown in Epicure. It is a separate line from the 30th. This is what it looks like: I looked down on Perdomo prior to this as my previous experience with their stuff was mediocre at best - this one couldn’t have been better! Can’t believe how good it was - I’ve smoked 5 since we recorded this episode. Shoutout to @Cigar Surgeon for the recommendation! Edited March 27 by LizardGizmo I'm an idiot and keep typing "sun" instead of "shade" 3 2

Seb88 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I’ve only heard good things about this line; everyone seems to rate them highly. Maybe after this review, you’ll take a look at the newly announced “Father and Son” line as well? Hopefully they make their way across the pond so I can give that blend a try too.
Chibearsv Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I’ll dip my toe in on these. Found 5 packs for just under $14 each. Nicaraguan cigars usually give pause but Gizmos slotting has me interested. 1

There's always this moment where I'm holding my breath when I make a cigar recommendation, so I'm glad this one delivered. 3

LizardGizmo Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I was alerted by an astute listener that I mislabeled the episode everywhere - it's not the Nicaraguan SUN Grown in Epicure (which does not exist). It's the Nicaraguan Shade Grown in Epicure. Sorry to confuse @DrinkSmokeGolf could this potentially be why you couldn't find them? 1

It's the Nicaraguan Shade Grown in Epicure. About 1/3 of the way into one. Maybe my palate is blown from today's coffee competition tasting, but so far it seems mildly pleasant but not super complex. RH around 65%. Burn and construction is good. Flavor is picking up a bit in the second third, but not quite enough so far to make my happy list. Better on the retrohale. 2
