Recent Delights.
Cuatro Cinco from the Pass.
I thought it was ok, until around the last 1/3, where it picked up some nice flavors. Would actually smoke this again.
Epc Encore from the Pass.
How in the literal dog poo did this get such a rating ? Started out smooth and good enough, built into a tasty treat, but I was not getting a cigar experience they hyped up.
Would I purchase ? No. Not my blend profile. It was just ok to me.
Upmann No.2 from a PIF
Started with salted cashews and cream. Ended with roasted cashews, cream and toasted tobacco.
I am glad I didn't buy any more of these, as I already have the majority of that profile in the other Upmanns, but with more flavors.
Davidoff Winston Churchill from the Pass.
Sweetness, smooth, a bit of saltiness. This reminded me of Cuban cigars. Sure, there are differences, but if you blind sampled this, it would be a bit hard to tell. I enjoyed it, but was hoping for that build up or transition, which never happened.
Would I buy these ? No, not at the price they want. But if you want a medium strength profile and body that tastes similar to CC's, this is a great cigar.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia
