Yerandy custom Laguito No. 2

borndead1 · 09-24-2023, 11:11 PM

Whassup, errbody?

I had some weird variant of Covid, where I didn't get sick at all, but I lost my sense of taste and smell completely! 100%! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. It took like 2 months for food to start tasting "normal" again, and even longer for my vices (cigars, coffee, chocolate)!
I gotta say, when everything, EVERYTHING you love tastes like sh*t, life sucks! NO JOKE.

So here I am. Food is 90% back to normal, and cigars are...I'd say...80% back to normal. I can't smell wrapper aromas as much as I used to, which sucks. And I still smell a little funky smell when I first light up a stogie, but after that, it's normal. I think?

I am celebrating my return to normal cigar experiences with a Murcielago lancero. I drunk bought 2 boxes of these a while back, and rather than regret my purchase, I am sitting here wishing I had bought 4 boxes instead of 2. What a great smoke. Pretty typical maduro flavors of cocoa and coconut. Not a super complex cigar at all, but a really nice smoke overall.

Glad to hear you’re getting better.

OK, so, I am drunk commenting, so don't get mad.

BUT...

I have read through the virtual grapevine that Yerandy doesn't outright deny that his cigars are 100% Cuban tobacco, but he doesn't admit that they ARE 100% either. And quite a few cigar nerds on Reddit have basically called him out; saying his cigars are not made with Cuban tobacco AT ALL.

So...icehog, Tom...be honest. whaddya say?

First off, glad to hear you're on the mend, Mark!

These No. 2s from Yerandy definitely taste Cuban to me. And if they were to be found to have other country's leaf in them, I'd still smoke 'em because they're delicious.

Do these Reddit nerds also think the moon landings and 9/11 were fake?

Their man buns are too tight and that makes them cranky.

I haven't bought any Yerandys, but they have said similar things about other customs. Since there is no real gatekeeping nor sense of community there like there is on forums imho, I read a little bit on reddit, but don't really lend credence to opinions there. YMMV
