NC Trials

[trogdor]

I've be trying out some more NCs for the first time in years. I'll collect my reviews here so I can keep track of the easier.

When I smoke, I tend to send most every puff out through my nose. I think I'm also somewhat sensitive to nicotine strength.

First up:

Casa Fernandez Anniversary
Started off with a hit of spiciness on the nose, which dropped off quickly to be replaced by some decent tobacco flavor.
1/4 of the way in it got a tiny bit of floral undertones.
At halfway,it had picked up some more spiciness and some harshness in the nose. I also could start to feel the nicotine strength a bit.
The final bits of the cigar gave some interesting milder flavors under everything else, maybe some perfume/florals. I figured out that for me this was a "sipping" cigar, I really had to modulate how much smoke went out my nose.
After I finished, the nicotine finished sneaking up on me and slapped me soundly (but thankfully not vomitously); I had to go take a nap for a half hour.
Overall: OK, but I don't plan to get any more.
