I bought this to celebrate submitting my first story for publication. (IT will take four weeks to know.) I should have went with the Nica Rustica. This thing had decent flavor, but there wasn't a whole lot going on. A pretty boring smoke in my opinion.

Plus, WTF IS THIS! It happened twice. It tunneled and then dropped burning hot ash down the front of my shirt.

Bummer. I had one of those, once. I pretty much thought the same thing as you. But I did not have that kind of burn issue.

Today's ride home cigar. Pretty boring, no flavor. It's was one of the too many random sampler cigars I still have. This one got pitched when I got home. Just nothing there.

Next I had a cigar that I whipped up from scraps from homerolling. It was FAR better than the lovely Grand Pearl above. Posted the pic in the Adventures in Homerolling thread.

And now, I'm smoking an Olivia Serie G. Pretty nice - a little mild for this time of the day today. I'll have my next one of these as my first cigar and see how that goes.

Wow, I read you description and was shocked. Had to look closer at the pic, at first glance I thought it was a La Palina.

The lack of touch-ups in all 3 of these cigars has triggered the OCD anxiety in me. Must. Correct. Burn.

A short jog doesn't constitute a touch up, but if it starts to run! I will cut the whole end off and start over. The worst taste in the world to me is the metalic taste of smoking my spit!

Underrated stick IMO.

How was it??? I have one in the wine cooler. @Jp1979 described it as a citrus "bomb". Just haven't had the desire to smoke a glass of orange juice.

View attachment 69669 I learned today that I passed the bar exam. There will be at least one follow-up cigar and at least five follow-up bourbons.

Congrats!!

Cigar 2 tonight. The Oscar Leaf had more flavor, but the Davidoff Winston Churchill has good favor and awesome construction.
