Dirty Rat...Obviously my pallet is sofa king wee todd did, as this cigar just didn't do it for me. The flavor was good, don't get me wrong...but it tastes like a JDN Gran Consul to me...and I think I like the latter over this one a lot more.
The nic buzz wasn't nearly as much as a lot of reviews claimed it to be. Of course, it may have to do with the fact that I'm a cough, hack, cough, cig smoker? I like the FFP, that thing has just the right amount of nic...

Maybe you're catching a cold? :scratchhe I couldn't taste my L40 at all last night and today I'm fighting the onset of a cold much more obviously than yesterday.

Let 'Em rest for a few weeks (at least) in the humi, then burn another one. My first Rat blew me away. One of the best cigars I've smoked to date. I've had several more since then & if anything, I liked the subsequent ones more.

OTOH, it's quite possible that you just don't like them. I know cigars & coffee are two totally different things, but on occasion I cup a coffee that other people (whose cupping/roasting skills I respect) say is the best thing since sliced bread & I end up rating it a very average 84. Taste is a VERY subjective thing as I'm sure you already know...
