What did you smoke today (NC) II

[Brimy]

But I'm bummed to hear they weren't that great - I had high hopes and H&S is usually pretty good.

Yeah I was expecting more from H&S but maybe that's why I felt a little let down. Used to their smokes being more right out the gate.
But they did have some flavor.
Hoping a little nap brings out the "more" that I was expecting.

Damn. When you said pallet full, I thought you meant pallet of boxes of those. Let me know if you come across more.

Nope these were in a humidor on a pallet full of local trade show stuff. We used to go around to local festivals and sell cigars and humidors. I guess someone just stashed the full humidor up on this pallet thinking we would pull it out in a month for another show but then it was forgotten about for years

I'm always amazed at the wide variety of smokes in this thread.
There are just so many different nc's that its dizzying and very different choosing what to get when putting together an nc order.

I have already set up my order for the beginning of next month, but keep changing things as I read these threads and different reviews.

The nc world is definitely very different from the cc world when it comes to variety for sure

You are so right, you could probably never smoke every NC produced because there are just so many! And if you included blends that are not in production anymore, forget about it!
Now in my limited experience, the Bums here could probably give it a close shot. Although they, and I, have some go to smokes that our humi never stay without, they have sampled a large variety.
I'm not sure what your buying preferences are (boxes, singles). I tend to buy 5'ers.
And once you start getting bombed, participate in the MAW, Secret Santa or anything where we choose what to send you, your variety will expand!!

I can't help but roll my eyes a bit when I come across folks who still think of Cuban cigars as the gold standard. The level of craft and dedication going into boutique NC cigars right now is unparalleled. We're living in a truly amazing time for our hobby. It's hard to keep up, but it's also hard to pick something that won't be satisfying. Just sit back and enjoy!

I certainly agree.
I have certainly run across many more problems from cc's than nc's over the years for sure.

I'm just getting back into nc's after a year or so hiatus from them to focus on exploring more good cc's, but I'm already stocked to smoke nc's a third of the time, with another order of nc's coming next month. Really want to experience a lot of variety of nc's as part of my stock, as i highly value having as much variety as possible, and nc's have no shortage of that.

Just difficult to decide what to try since there are just so many available
