Just received this lovely clearance box from our host! The wrappers and the aroma are fantastic, really excited to dig into this box! Righf after I posed this, the mailman graciously bombed my mailbox with some ‘15 party shorts and some ‘18 LGC MDO 4’s from our host!

Can you adopt me?

In no particular order: Arturo Fuente Anejo Opus X Illusione Epernay Illusione Singulare Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour

IMO, top NC blenders are far better than CC’s. However, CC leaf is far superior to NC leaf. CC leaf has less nicotine, yet has much more flavor and richness. Also, there’s not a lot of variation in NC flavors, it’s the same wood, leather, pepper and some other things over and over and over again. You’re not gonna get cherry, stewed fruit, and some of the other bright, wonderful flavors we get with CC’s.

We used this meme after the napa earth quake 🤣

Exactly! I have a few I still smoke at my local b&m. Illusione Epernay's are fantastic, as are the God of Fire Serie B's I received as a gift. Problem is, those GoF serie B cost the same as Cobiba Esplindidos...I'll take the Espy's any day of the week!

CC's are just so much better! I'm doing some continuing education for my mortgage license and thought it'd be a good time to dig into my aging NC stock to help pass the time. Lit up a 2 year old My Father Lancero, and stopped smoking it 1/3 of the way through. WAY too much pepper, and the after taste was harsh (never get that on CC's). There was some nice rich flavor under the pepper, but my lord, just way too much. I lit up a monte 5 to compare side my side, and the monte blew it away..

Man I wish I would have gotten on that Christmas sampler!

Not sure if anyone can compete with this!

I loved it! Was one of the best movies I've seen in the past few years. Which isnt saying much, because outside of the Marvels Universe, Hollywood has been producing larger and larger piles of shit.

I’m so jealous of that box it’s not real!

Davidoff has came out with some fantastic cigars recently. IMO...their top stuff compares with CC's. However, they come with 3-4x the price tag. If you're wealthy and want perfect construction, they're definitely worth it.

Had this petit royale with some very good younger scotch!
