Thanks for the "review." Or at least thanks for mentioning that you smoked it. I found that in itself amusing as I can't remember when you've lowered your standards enough to smoke a NC cigar besides your coveted cremosas.

It's not a matter of standards just of smoking what you have come to like. Interesting in that the average daily smoke for me now is cheaper than in the NC phase. You missed my first 30 years of NC smoking. Pretty much smoked em all. Conversion has pretty much been a one island cigar smoker for me for the past 3 years. Once you become a nose smoker its difficult to appreciate what NC cigars have to offer.

I was more making a cremosa joke. I'm not always the best comedian... er... maybe never actually. I wasn't knocking your taste in cigars whatsoever.

Anyway, I really did get a smile out of you posting up about a NC cigar. It's just so... well, rare. I considered it a treat.

Ironic, considering where our buddy, Sam was at Shack 2. Handing out Fuentes, and saying he didn't see the appeal of cubans. What a difference that weekend made. (and that bad influence in the office next door to his)

He's such a snob now.. in a $ 2-4 cuban cigar kind of habit way. Snobs really the wrong term though. Smoking what you come to enjoy at a price that is less expensive per stick is ... well it's quite unexpected for those still looking down from the top of the slope.

The nose exhale is what ruined the NC's for me.
