Is it me?

I love just about all tats, but I am not a fan of LPs. One thing that I've noticed about smoking fuller bodied smokes is that it is good for me to keep milder "bland" smokes in the rotation. That's the great thing about cigars, they have something for just about every one of my moods.

I see it completely different. A mild smoke can be just has complex as a full body smoke but it seems as of late, the more pepper and/or spice it packs, people equate it as a better the cigar. Granted I do enjoy a nice spicy cigar after a good meal but, for me, I find it much more rewarding smoking a cigar that makes you think about the profiles you are taking in and the cigar is not kicking you in the nuts with its power.

Thats the beauty of this hobby, not everyone enjoys the same cigar which adds to the discussion and makes life interesting!

I agree with you that milder smokes can be just as complex (I would much rather smoke a complex mild cigar over a full bodied kick you in the nuts cigar). I was just using the word "bland" because the good Rev. did so in his inital post.

Sounds like Nicaraguan tobacco may not be your cup of tea.

Love Nicaraguan tobacco. Oliva Vs are my favorite, my go to smoke. Love Tat Noellas, Petite Cazadore Reservas, 601 Blues, Cain Daytonas, Omar Ortez originals, and of course, most everything Padron.

To my tastes, I find the LPs and Viajes I have had to be very one-dimensional and bland. There is no excitement in them whatsoever. They might be strong (Cain's are strong), but there is no complexity to them, they lack anything that smacks of imagination. Like I said, they don't "wow" me.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
