For The Love of Fire-Cured Tobaccos

[Emperor Zurg]

The only one I've tried is the KFC. 'Chunky' I think it was. Picked up a coule from a B&M a while back because I really enjoy dark fired leaf and latakia in pipe baccy. The cigar however, didn't do it for me. Couldn't wait for it to burn down far enough to justify tossing it. I guess just as one should not look for a cigar experience in a pipe, one should also not look for a pipe experience in a cigar. Yuk! Give me a nice sweet maduro any day over these things. And to think I paid B&M price for these to boot!

Yeah, the Chunky was my least favorite as well, but as I mentioned the flavors of these sticks is quite polarizing.

I've had the spectre, STK, and KFC in just a friend, pig, and Kyoto sized.

The STK is by far my favorite, followed by the KFC Pig and Kyoto. The Spectre was very overpowering with the smokey/BBQ flavor HOWEVER....smoking the Spectre next to a bonfire was a totally different experience. It was awesome.

I will also be trying the Dalfinas in the near future, and have a Leccia Black on deck for this weekend.

@Browns7213 when we talked a while back, wasn't there another fire cured cigar you were telling me about. It was very hard to find and I'm pretty sure you told me it was quite dry.

Yes, its an Italian dry cigar not what I would consider a premium so I did not include that in my tome.

I'll have to try the Spectre before writing them all off permanently. That one sounds interesting and it's cheap enough.
