Mac and DaBear's LFD NAS vs. LFD Cheroot/Icepick Review

And now for my overall comparison:

While the two sticks had similar profiles with the nuts and leather, the spices in both were very different and may have been the biggest thing differentiating the two for me. The NAS was a very pepper almost harsh spice to me, while the Cheroot was more of a cinnamon or nutmeg. The thing that was disappointing is I love the Pelo de Oro used in the Small Batches, but in the NAS it just doesn't work as a puro, especially not the ligero. Part of the problem may have been I was going into this thinking the NAS would be a similar stick to the Cheroot(which has always been a solid smoke for me), but it just didn't pan out that way. Bottom line, the NAS is a stick I'll smoke if given, but not one I'd actively seek. The Cheroot will continue to be in my rotation.
