I think just by default it would have to be :)
Not a fan of the Herrera Esteli I take it?
I don't reach for them but the comment was admittedly more comedy than truth. I would smoke another, I just don't have a desire to do so.

When I toured a bunch of factories in Santiago years back it was just prior to the release of the cardinal line (If I recall correctly). I found it to be a perfectly adequate cigar but very puzzling. EPC was attempting to make a middle of the road, appealing to anyone, type cigar. The price, however, wasn't different enough to cement it in this market. I think you've got to release an "Illusione Rothschild" priced cigar to survive in that market. Otherwise, your offerings have to push quality & supremacy over "appeal". I never got it.

A cigar that will stand the test of time: DE Undercrown Corona Viva. So beautiful and so delicious.

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

Seeking out fishing spots to take my daughter. Did this on my way to another German/polka band gig. Oompa!

Glad it was better than shitty.
That cigar is also almost 2 years old by now too. I bought the box a couple years back and I love them. That is the Maduro, btw.
Toasty, yes. Good explanation.

Got this from Craig a coupla summers ago. he said I'd really like it. Didn't... At first. The middle was outstanding, tho. Sumatra wrapper over Nic and Hon fillers. Faded a bit at the end, but a winner!
