Best-smelling unlit NC you've ever encountered! - Page 2

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

Gargoyle · 09-22-2009, 01:54 PM

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

I enjoy the smell of the Illusiones.

Davidoff with a few years on them..

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

Ad de momem I dot a told, so I don smell veddy well.

Starscream · 09-22-2009, 08:18 PM

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!

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 · 09-28-2009, 02:51 PM

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.

maverickdrinker · 09-28-2009, 03:46 PM

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