What did you smoke today (NC) II

[Cardinal]

Expected I'd like this cigar. Crux Ninfamaniac Dark...7x33. Long lean one this is, good looking cigar,solidly packed, easy light, but extremely tight draw.
When nineteen minutes after lighting the draw opened up, smoke production was decent, if not plentiful.Shortly there was a big flavour change that came out of nowhere and was gone after just a minute or two. Once the draw improved the cigar burned very evenly, with a quite solid ash hanging on for over an inch,until tapped off.Think it was the luck of the draw that kept this wand from being better appreciated.


Luck of the non draw?

Too bad about the tight draw. I've had a couple and they are good, plus a solid value for the price. Plus I love the name and the art on the band.

Not too bad. Creaminess / woody followed by a little pepper spice. Not the best Cameroon I've had. Good, but average.

Really like a nice Cameroon myself. For an everyday stick I like the NUB & on the high end the GOF. I've heard the Hemingway line is a Cameroon but have yet to try one.

I have not had the GOF, but I would rate the others mentioned above the Rocky Patel, but pricing reflects that except that the Nubs can be had for a very reasonable price. I also like the Oliva G as a pretty good example of a Cammy.

Congratulations Brian! 20 is a great number.

My old boss used to say, "I've been married for 3 blissful years. 17 total, but 3 of them were blissful." I've used that a few times in front of my wife, and she lets me know how hilarious she thinks it is by punching me in the ribs.

I like that Tim! I'm going to have to borrow that.
And probably NOT in front of her, my ribs might wind up broken!

I forgot the G is a Cameroon! I have to revisit this, I think I have a few left over.

Agree 100 percent on the name,the band and they're not only an attractive looking cigar, but also burn evenly, as well as slowly. When the draw is open it's a really good smoke.Don't know why or how this one was "plugged" couldn't locate any overly solid spots.Certainly would not hesitate to smoke another, expect it would be an excellent smoke.

Just dropped off the wife and kids at the airport. Decided to celebrate my temporary solitude with a San Lotano Connecticut and a cup of coffee this beautiful Indiana morning!
