Trying one of these 'Nicks Sticks' that was gifted to me. Started out awful, ashy taste and tight draw. Gave it a chance and in the second 3rd turned earthy with hints of cocoa, which became more prominent as it went.
Not something I'd buy but not terrible either.
May 46 (2016) - this is an ugly looking stick with water marks, and white spots. But true to the adage that you should never judge a smoke by it?s wrapper, it?s turning out to be a really great smoke!
Had a very busy and extremely stressful week. I finally have some time to enjoy a cigar today and thought why not smoke something good. Des Dieux with a few years on it.

Well said Greg. I've had quite a few ugly sticks that turned out to be great!
ERDM Choix Supreme for me this evening. First one I?ve ever tried and very tasty indeed. Thanks for [MENTION=13417760]Wigan[/MENTION] for making it available!
Well tried the Trinidad Vigia tonight.....rested for a few months and oh so much better for it......a beautiful cigar, worth investing in a box I think......
Update......I thought I should mention, the draw was ok, but slightly tight/plugged on first lighting, so turned to use my PerfecDraw tool......voila! it managed to retrieve a 7 cm thickened leaf vein which was running down the centre of the cigar

I think its down to the lack of expectations, when you have a gorgeous looking wrapper, you cannot help but feel cheated when it is not a lovely smoke!
