Funny thing happened when I was smoking. About half way through I got a very bitter taste, so I slowed down. Nope, not it. The burn was even, but I figure I should do a salt test. 6 hours later its rock solid at 75% in the jar. So, at this point I'm getting mad, I thought my taste buds are bad so I lit up a RP 92...same problem. Then I realize I never took my medicine for my acid reflux, if I don't take it I get a horribly bitter taste in my mouth. So, that whole time I was running around doing a salt test and getting mad for no reason. I think the word "moron" fits here somewhere . Two perfectly good cigars down the drain. The Edge was really good for the first 3 inches so it wasn't a total waste.

Perdomo Estate Seleccion Prestigio. I bought a 5 pack of these. I let them sit for a month and today was my 1st. the first 2 inches was pretty harsh. It settled a bit but was a powerful smoke.
"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia

Coronado by La Flor. Probaly the strongest stick I've had yet, but absolutely enjoyable.
Top Quality, Great Construction

To keep it rolling...I had a Gurkah Regent torp box pressed, that a friend on here gave me. WOW this cigar was one of the best I had! Perfect burn, awesome construction and the flavor was smooth. Last part of the cigar, had some hints of brown sugar! Man this cigar was GREAT!

Hey Lou, the smoke sounds great. Do you know where I could find some online? I searched three sites and only one had them. Although I'm not sure its them. Could you give me some more details of which one and the exact name?
jms: Aren't you a little too young to have acid reflux?
I had a Torano 1916 Cameroon Corona after breakfast, an REO Vibe after lunch, a Padron Maduro 2000 after work, and a HdM Dark Sumatra Expresso after dinner. Thank goodness, I can taste again!
