Interesting first result.

Question for Nick and Bill, do either of you snork/retrohale/nasal exhale? I'm curious as I'm reading the comparative reviews. Thanks!

I do a nasal exhale on occasion.

that's disappointing, it seems like both reviews were negatively influenced by the too tight draw. I had no draw issues when I smoked one of these last weekend. guess I should consider myself lucky!

I do. I do it with every cigar I smoke. Some are more painful than others, but I do indeed. There are lots of flavors missed if you don't. The Admiral schooled me into "snorking"!

So what do you guys think now that you know? Have you ever smoked an LGC before? Is this the oldest habano you've had? Discussions, people... sheesh

What they smoked:



1998 Fonseca Cosaco

Montano score: 7
Riff Raff score: 8.6

It was hard for me to even put these into this BTT, considering I don't have many left and how much I absolutely adore them... great morning sticks with a light coffee.

So is this the oldest habano you've smoked to date? What do you think now that it's identity is revealed?

We're moving right along here, it seems!
