Chat brothers talked me into a late night stick. Need to try the original M80 and see how they compare. Lots of semisweet chocolate some leather and wood good but not great to me. Full strength and after standing up i'm felling the nic more maybe not a good before bed stick lol.

Bull City Cigar Co. - La Famiglia
Maduro Corojo wrapper, Ecudorian binder, Dominican filler

It started off with a great taste of chocolate, coffee, spice, and rich tobacco. It transitioned into rich tobacco with the chocolate and coffee taking a back seat and adding in a nice earthy taste. The rich tobacco is the star of the show from about 1" until the near the end of the second third. The secondary flavors come back towards the front and everything balances out. Through the first half it maintains a masculine feel despite its smoothness.

Is it worth $7.59 per single, yes. It easily holds it's own against cigars like the Nica Rustica and is better than the JDN Dark Corojo in my opinion. A really good smoke but a little strong for a post breakfast smoke, even if you eat a stack of pancakes and some sausage. I recommend following their advice to eat it after a large pasta dinner. Plenty of nicotine to go around if you like to retrohale most puffs.

Under different circumstances I would buy a bundle and let them sit a couple of months. ($6.20 each by the bundle.)

Stick looks great but I am way more interested in that beer right now. Can you give a quick review/tell me where you got it?
I found it at one of my locals. It was pretty good. Slightly sweet, there was a little bit of cherry but not much. The bourbon flavor s were there but not over powering.

Sorry people, but IMHO this thread would be so much better if besides the pics (which are great) you included the name of the smoke and a little description of how it was. It doesn't need to be a full review but a quickly. " I picked this up at my local B&M or ordered this online and had it for a week. Great flavors of earth, wood and leather, medium bodied med strength yada yada yada .

Personally to me the best part of cigar forums is to read peoples reviews of smokes. This can provide a daily updated review.

OK ....I'm getting off my soap box. Sorry
