Beautiful cigar and band from EPC. La Historia, about 5.5 x 52. Just a touch of spice on the retrohale, but very smooth. Barely medium strength flavor. Needs more smoke to it.

An update. I took off too much cap and had trouble with the wrapper unrolling. With about 3" left, I removed the wrapper, and it's now a much better cigar, as the wrapper was definitely muting the filler and binder combination. It's also putting out a lot more smoke, enhancing the flavors.

Photo bombed by the in-law.

Love this cigar. An all-time favorite. Image

Don't know a thing about this cigar. Picked it up at a somewhat local B&M, because I'd never seen it before. Im a sucker for trying cigars that I'm not familiar with. It's kinda like smoking an unbanned. So far, I would buy this one again.

This is the 4th or 5th of these since purchasing a box in January. Very consistent, fairly mild, great draw and construction. A wonderful first cigar, even if a long smoke for that.

Horrible draw issues, which kept me re-lighting many times. 2 tunnels in the middle for about 3".

A first for me tonight, this 90 Miles. Decent enough, but a pretty quick burn at just over an hour for a 7 x 48. Thanks, Kip!

Per my comments about having a cigar while working, I smoked this while taking an online "ethics course" for the college where I teach. The figar sure made it more enjoyable.

Beautiful weather in NYC today. Serie D Maduro is such a great cigar!
