I thought it was like 1997 to 2000 or so where all if it just kinda sucked. ‘96-‘01 can be hit or miss for sure. Especially the boutique brands. These were rolled at EL but are also the DB version, not SLB. I think these are duds. I’ve had so many hundreds of spectacular cigars from ‘98. For many years there was a surplus available from this vintage. I took major advantage and bought probably more than 100 boxes from ‘98. They have overwhelmingly been great but there is always a dud here and there. This is one of the rare boxes that has not provided even one beautiful smoke. 4

In the Porsche I could be going 110 mph and think I'm only going 50 mph, until I realize everyone around me is driving in slow motion. That doesn't happen in a G Wagon. 7

The Taycan is unbelievably fast, easily the fastest car I've driven. Had a Taycan Turbo as a courtesy car and you were going fast enough to lose your licence ever time you simply thought about maybe accelerating. 2
Popular Post Lucas Buck Posted March 6 Popular Post Posted March 6 BM OUSU (AUG98) - Belinda PC - first puffs you would never know this was a cheapie MM. Silky smooth retro. Mild Medium strength. Beautiful baking spice throughout. Not complex but delicious nonetheless. These might be my favorite MM. What an insane value these were. Don’t recall the last time I nubbed a dollar cigar. 23 1
