Elogio Excepcionales

Garbandz · 12-13-2011, 04:00 PM

My local shop got these in today,I had to share this with the members.

300 boxes of 10 is the total production,and yes that is a quarter in the pic.

I think it is an 88 ring gauge by 6 inches,it reminds me of the EGG from years back...........
These will be sold out quickly.......

People actually smoke those? 88 RG is ridiculous.

maninblack · 12-13-2011, 04:16 PM

I would try one if I could get my hands on one. The largest RG I've had is a 72.

Not a big deal when the large ring gauge doesn't actually have to go in your mouth.

I've been wanting to try an egg, just never got around to buying one. That is a crazy gauge though...

Egg,,,,Excepcionales,,,similar for sure

VirtualSmitty · 12-13-2011, 07:33 PM

I wonder how it smokes. Those stupid eggs from way back when were notorious for having terrible draws. They tasted god awful as well, so maybe that was a good thing...

neoflex · 12-13-2011, 11:47 PM

These smoke very good but I think the shape really hurts the smoke as they tend to start burning hot and turn sour as you make it past the widest part and it starts to make it's way back down into thinner RGs. I am going to give another one a shot but will definitely try and dry box it for a few days prior to smoking to see if that helps out any. Overall the Elogio LSV lines are very enjoyable. Was not overly impressed with their Habano line but I know a bunch of guys who prefer the Habano over the LSV so it's all subjective. The new lancero with the Ecuadorian wrapper is supposed to be amazing but I missed the meet and greet where they were giving these out to the boys to try before they are released.

More clown cigars.

Can the Nub 90 be far behind?

I have never tried those egg shaped cigars but have always wondered how they would taste...

I think the biggest cigar I have ring gauge right now is a DE My Uzi Weighs a Ton. Don't even know off hand what the RG is but that thing is huge!

maninblack · 12-14-2011, 08:13 AM

The Uzis are 60 RG.

MUWAT is a classic 6x60 shape.

EGG and other gimmicks, for parties and having fun.

Depends on your profession?

I'm sure the people that smoke them don't think they are a gimmick. And from the way companies are cranking the big RG sticks out, there are a lot of people that like smoking them.

DaBear · 12-15-2011, 11:56 AM

We have more regulars come in for big ring gauge sticks than not at work. That said its all personal preference. They can smoke all the big ring gauges. Leaves more of the sizes I like for me
