I won a fiver of Marzio toros on the infamous auction site. Didn't read far enough into the description to see that they are KFC.

Let's trade.

I paid $23 for the five pack, but I'm open to anything in any price range as long as they are *not* made by any of the following cigar makers: Gurkha, Alec Bradley, Rocky Patel, Drew Estate, Pepin/My Father, Torano.

I like lanceros and lonsdales, and love trying stuff that is exclusive to local B&Ms. Doesn't have to be a five pack.

Thanks!

How tf did pepin/my father end up on that list? You like lancero's but don't want any from the company that literally makes the best regular production lancero's?

Too many bad experiences. Mostly off flavors of underfermented tobacco. There's no reason why 5+ yr old cigars kept in low 60s humidity with no cello should taste like ammonia after the first 2". I recently tossed the remnants of a box of Tatuajes that I bought back in 2014. No sh*t. Did the same with a box of My Father Cedros Deluxe that I bought in 2016. And I've given them way more chances beyond that. The last straws were a box of San Cristobal Elegancia that appeared to have been constructed by a blind monkey, and a 5 pack of MF Le Bijou torpedoes that tasted like turpentine after 2 years. I know it's not my palate, because I still smoke all kindsa other cigars without the same issue.

The others are on the list for various reasons. Poor construction, inconsistent blends, bland flavor, chemical/ammonia flavor, etc.

Actually, I have a 10 pack of those in the corona.

Smoking one reminds me of a cool summer night under the canopy of a cloudless starry sky while sitting around a warm, blazing campfire that someone threw a pair of old leather boots onto.

No thanks..

I usually drink coffee, but every now and then, to switch it up, I'll sip on a cup of some kind of black tea. Usually a chi spice that I get loose at "stashtea.com" .
One time in a fit of twisted, depraved self loathing and self abuse, I bought something called "Lapsang Souchong". It's a fire cured black tea that tastes extremely similar to those cigars.
Now the next time I smoke a KFC, I'll have something just as awful to go with it.

I'm glad you like it.. To me it's like burning a log of mesquite and pouring water over it to drink.

But... I'll drink it when I run out of everything else...

For a fire cured smoke, you should go with the original Parodi Kings.

And if you want to listen to something awful to go with it, listen to this:

If you have something you hate, why not donate it to the Troops? PM me to donate them to OpFTH.

I Like their Chi Spice Black Tea .. Cream and honey added .. An after diner/before bed kinda thing..

I'm not a green tea kinda drinker, though I hear it's supposed to be healthier..

Might be better than choosing to light it up, smoke it and ash it...
