Nudies are back down under

[ha_banos]

The first one I had blew my head off tbh, how was your second ?

Had my third yesterday. Much smoother. After almost 8 weeks rest. There is a little sweetness in there. Nice finish to it. Still a bit harsher than I prefer on the retrohale. Nice flavours and aroma. Quite mild flavours. Was building up in strength. So I left it at the last third. It's a long slow smoke!

Great construction again. Plenty smoke with some oilyness to it.

So it has definitely calmed down. Same as you the first one knocked me on my a$$. Next one probably not scheduled until next year, cigar season.

I had what I used to refer to as a whitey..... sweats and thought I was gonna pass out. Snuck up on me.

I’ve had three now and like Banos have found them better each time. I’m a fan of big strong cigars but fresh out of the box these were far too rough

I'd be up for a split

Nudies may also be available in some fashion at jjfox now - i guess they tweak the blend?...

Is the house blend and nudies one and the same thing ?

I don't think we know! Read into it what you like, they say made by jjfox with additional expertise from Oscar and Hamlet. The same guys who developed the blends for the nudies... So perhaps Rob picked out some of the options along the way? Perhaps he did have some steer in the input? Who knows? Will have to get him out again to find out.

I suspect they are subtly different. But I'm sure made in the same factory by the same hands. Would make a lot of sense.

Plus I don't remember a Nudies Robusto ?

Correct if I may quote "Over the next month we will be releasing the Canonazo (first), Lancero, Carlota and Petit Corona.

Later in the year we will be releasing a Spada Gorda MOFOH (Corona Gorda +), a Fat Fundy (44 gauge), a Queen Corona MOFOH (Corona +) a Petit 109 (BR) a 109 (BR) and a Flying Pig. "

So perhaps Foxy has reserved some exclusive sizes! Dem nudies seem to want to be exotic


EDIT: There is a Robusto in the MOFOH range being tested, 2 blends in the running. "You will see the MOFOH Robusto Trinity early December"

[PeeJay]

I've ordered one of each to try
