Sadly, it was harsh. It was either very young, or i have completly lost my taste for non cubans. I have a few somewhere still with 3 or 4 years on them. Im going to fire one up soon and find out. Im going to go with the young angle though because i had one of mine last summer and i remember loving it. I was about to fire up one or two of the other sticks you sent, but i figured i should give them more time since i never had any of them.

Dang I'm sorry, hate to hear that. I'm with you, I'm getting more Habanos focused, but there's still plenty of worthwhile NC's.
Those were a bit young, but I didn't find them harsh, actually pretty smooth for an Oliva. any chance it could've gotten over humidified? But yeah, pretty strong flavored. I actually hadn't tried any at the time I sent that.
Hope you enjoy the others I sent. Can't remember what they were but they should be ready to go.

I try to smoke those as my first cigar of the day on a fresh palate because I find them to have a subtle flavor profile. I smoke a lot of heavier stuff like Tatuaje and Cromag and it blunts my ability to enjoy more refined stuff afterwards.

Right. Thanks for the advice guy. I’ve smoked my fair share of Epernay and something was missing from this one. Bad stick, bad crop, place I got them from or I stored them wrong.

No chance of it being over humidified. Flavour i wouldnt even say strong. Could just be young or an off stick. It had good flavours, just wasnt smooth as i remember. Not every stick is a home run. Part of the hobby :woot::woot::pompous:
