I've never done a proper review but here is my take on the two. I started out trying the new blend LADC Monarch and then tried the Belicoso. I liked the Belicoso so much I turned around and bought a box. I've also had the LADC EE and plan on buying a box of them soon as well. They both have a nice amount of spice but nothing overpowering. The difference in my opinion between the two is the LADC EE has a more complex flavor profile but I've found no difference in the quality between the two.
