[QUOTE="Ivanis, post: 119760, member: 11740"] Gonna bump this again. Too good of a thread to not contribute to. My start with cigars was one of envy I suppose. I used to watch some cigar review videos because of the amazing notes that the reviewer could derive from the cigars. I was always interested in the flavors of coffees, I drink my coffee black from a French press, or a Bialetti Italian Espresso machine, or a Turkish Ibrik. So I always loved trying to pick up flavors in the coffee, I would always pick up chocolate, caramel, nutty, and(now I know to be) tobacco notes. These notes are common in South American coffees, of which I much prefer over the more fruity African coffees. It was so much fun to see the differences from coffee to coffee. Naturally as my palette progressed I explored into other routes of flavor enjoyment. Vapes being the next stage. I enjoyed this for a while, but as I continued to use it I started to realize how these vape flavors were synthetic, they lacked natural flavors and complexity which is what always amazed me about cigars. The manufactures needed to have so much skill in order to formulate a cigar that has such complex flavors. So I finally dove into the deep end and headed into my local cigar shop and picked up an Ashton Premium house selection. It was a mild cigar that I enjoyed very much however I got cigar sickness with this. But I wasn't so quick to give it up. So I headed back to the shop and picked up a Cusano M1. It was bland, and terrible. I started to get to thinking, maybe if I like my coffee full bodied, then maybe I'd like my cigar full bodied. So I picked up a Perdomo Habano in Churchill that I enjoyed very much. After that I picked up a AJ Fernandez La Gran Llave which I also enjoyed very much. These both had Maduro wrappers and we're more chocolatey and nutty in flavors, much like the coffees I enjoy most. I only smoke once or twice a month, I think I am gonna pick up one tomorrow to have. If I do, maybe I'll post a little review. Just realized how long this post is. Eh, I'm dumping it anyway. [/QUOTE]
