Best-smelling unlit NC you've ever encountered!

[duckmanco]

the unlit foot of almost any EO brand smoke, especially:

Cubao
601 BP maduro

If I only went on prelight aroma, my preference would be for the chocolatey-smelling cigars: Drew Estate Java is at the top of that list on the smell-o-meter, but scores a when smoking. For me, non-flavored cigars that come close (prelight) are the Cubao & RP OWR Maduro. (And fortunately these are a world of difference from the Java when smoking!)

TAT HAVANA'S WITH ABOUT A YEAR ON THEM

Graycliff Crystal, Man O' War, LFD, JDN and Camacho SLR tend to do the trick

The best I've smelled is the Padilla 48 Churchills. Open the box and it smells of caramel.

My smell alone and not flavor, I'd have to say Drew Estate Java.

I like any cigar that has that fresh cut hay smell. It always takes me back to my youth when i bailed hay and worked on farms. I had a 5 Vegas Miami knuckle that really smelled like straw, that gave me an instant flashback to he fields!

Sharks do it for me!

[sofaman]

For me its the Illusione 68 I will never forget the first box I bought when I opened the lid and stuck my nose to it

[Doctorossi]

Well, it looks like this thread has run its course, so it's time for the big reveal...

The cigar that drew me back?

La Gloria Cubana Serie R #7 (colorado wrapper)

Hoowee! Get a whiff o' that! As for the post-light report:

I liked this cigar a lot, but not enough to factor it into my regular rotation, especially considering the price. I understand this line is supposed to be a 'stronger' blend, but I found it to be a very mild primary flavor with a moderate dusting of white pepper riding on top. However, I suspect the box may have been sitting in the store for a couple/few years, so it may have mellowed a fair bit. Aside from the aforementioned pepper, I found the taste to be almost a perfect cross between a CC Hoyo double corona and the classic Avo blend. This was quite unexpected and pretty fun.

The one that has impressed me the most has been the cains. Just a gorgeous aroma everytime I open the box
