Hello Magnum.

Welcome from another Englander.

I live and work in London and a noob to cigars.

I have gleaned all my current knowledge, for what it's worth, from the great members of the FOH forum.

I try and meet up with our cousins from across the pond when they visit the capital and maybe you can join us on one such an occasion in future.

Well, I have to agree with you I have had some fantastic smokes and like you have experienced some that are dreadfull.

What I tend to do with my havanas is to keep the humidity lower than recommended, and this in turn helps the cigar to burn better. Especially when the tobacco is not properly matured.

HI thanks for your reply.

In answer to your question , I have to be honest I have tried to smoke 4 of these magnificos without success to me they have been badly rolled the tobacco is very fresh they struggle to burn and to me were a disappoinment.

To compare them to the old pl Magnums not a chance. I have in fact had the pleasure of smoking and enjoying a couple from an original cabinet of 50.

Now that is a fantastic smoke.

Rob,

I took an Epi 2 from a 3-pack that Lisa sent me (TBS ENE 07) to the golf course on Sunday. I had only tried one previous several years ago and remember it as a good but not great, mild smoke. Since that was when I was very new to cigars at that time, I was excited to try another but expecting pretty much the same (a good mild, morning smoke). I fired it up shortly after eating only a small breakfast bar and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was not only much more powerful than I remember but it was a mind-blowing smoke! Tons of light grey smoke, perfect draw, a little pepper through the nose, and a fairly complex and great flavor profile (i was on the golf course and somewhat distracted so I wasn't able to concentrate like I wished on it). This was a very young cigar and i think i will be getting a box soon.

Welcome Magnum, great to have you.

Concerning the Epi 2, I have a cab of SML OCT 06, and like Rogers72 reports, these are powerfully flavorful, and better than aged ones I have had.
