I think it doesn't get anymore boxy then that...

And yeah, they are a larger size in general, but I tried other vitolas from the same line and these are the best flavour wise.

Thanks, received.

Mine arrived too today - Thanks Niela. I won't be smoking it for a little while as MLW has very generously shared her cold with me - despite me sleeping in the spare room for the last 10 days.

Lent? What Lent? 🤣[emoji83]

That's sure going to be a master blaster! Lol

Maybe she gave it to you BECAUSE you slept in the spare room... ☺

How much time will this need!? Two hours?

I usually need 1-1.5h for these... If you are a very slow smoker, you can stretch it to 2h I guess... but they don't easily become harsh, so you can go faster....

I'm a slower smoker, so this is good to know

Anybody tried it yet?

I was going to fire one of these bad boys up this weekend but since Wednesday I’ve caught the dreaded cold which means I’m out of the smoking game I will be setting it alight next weekend now

[thedame007]

So I finally put this smoke to the flame, the first half was all about the chocolate and cherry notes, with spice. The second half became deeper with leather and earth, though still keeping a sweetness. No trace of pepper, though I rarely retrohaled (normally i retrohale part of each puff) as my sinuses are still recovering from the cold. The construction was good, though it needed a few touch ups. It also lasted me 2.5 hours as I am a slow smoker, and this was a beast.

Overall, it was a nice change from my Cubans, and I do have some NC in rotation to keep experiences open. I am not sure I would get a box simply because of the size, though I did enjoy the flavours on offer! Certainly worth having a couple of these sticks in supply.

Thanks for the new experience [MENTION=13432411]Niela[/MENTION] and for hosting!

PS - I did not even know where to start with the guessing due to my limited knowledge of NCs, so i did read the label on the cellophane [emoji6]
