Do you think they're hugely better than the robusto

Only ever smoked around a good 6 or so CoRo's.
Didnt enjoy any apart from one, my first one.
Creamy & lush as anything else... Kicked my arse to
It left me sideways afterward, had to lay down for a while.

BHK 52, to me is more refined. And for me, MUCH more consistent.
Smoked around a good dozen or more to date, and only a couple
have been so so. The majority have always satisfied me.
At least two or three of those have been absolutely heavenly.
More so the ones that have been smoked outdoors in summer.

When the 54s are smoked, I will DEFINITELY rebuy another box.
Yet to decide though if they'll be 52 or 54...

Thanks

I'm surprised by how much debate they've generated tbh

Are you for, against or indifferent sarge?

Are you for, against or indifferent sarge?

I love the ones I've had. The are very one dimensional but they have a nice sweet mild taste that's very pleasant. Because the ring gauge they take longer to smoke than you think. They've not let me down yet

Had me an H Upmann Robusto LE '12 this evening. It was a good smoke which significantly improved at the halfway mark. Paired with a coffee and from halfway, Jim Beam Honey on the rocks. I think the latter helped me appreciate the cigar more. Kindly gifted by a good cyber mate, thanks

The Importance of the NC!

This is the start of an effort to smoke more of my NC's, as I'm finding myself reaching for the Cubans whenever I dip into the humi.

Haha! I have the same problem, amigo.

Each time you "dip" into your humi, remember what the late, great don TJ always said: "Spare the puro, smoke more NCs." Wise words!

Or as a americano founding father was reported to have said: "A Puro saved is a puro earned." He actually said "Cuban Cigar," but I prefer "puro."

Ummm, Ray Jay! It was Ben Franklin who is known for the quote you bastardized. The actual quote is "A peso saved is a peso earned."
