El Rico Habano

I'm mixed on this cigar. I don't know that it is actually good, but it definitely kicks your ass with the nicotine!

Me too. I was unsure as to whether it was a good smoke or an assassination attempt. Maybe a bit of both. Kind of like drinking a triple espresso with a side of Everclear while hitting yourself repeatedly on the tongue with a chocolate covered brick. It leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth, and it feels so good when you finally stop.

Since they reblended these a few years ago, I haven't cared for them. They used to be strong. I don't find them so anymore. If you like them strong, find an older one. We did a taste testing at CS a few years ago and that was the consensus.

The new ones ain't bad, but the old ones are off the chain!

You don't think this is a strong cigar? I hereby dub thee "Iron Lips".

Either that or LckyLindy sent me one of the old ones. Cause, dayum.

Would love to come across one of the old blend. I currently have a box each of the newer natural & maduro and find them a tasty smoke. Fairly strong but not a cigar that will make me cough up a lung. In the past I've sent a few off to the troops. Just hope some young troop did not break his cherry on one of them.
