HAd my first diploma while watching the Yanks get their butt wooped by them Marlins. What a sweet night that was.
The Diploma reminded me so much of a HDM E#2, at least the construction!
It smoked perfect, excellent draw, and no burn problems, it was a very enjoyable smoke. Tons of smoke and flavor, very distinct flavors. Only thing was that it was a bit wet for my taste, would of liked it a little drier I have another that will sit for a few in my dry box!!!

Go MARLINS!!!

Wait till they nap for a year. The flavor becomes much more complex and are not as strong. X

What X said.
Fine cigar and I keep smoking them all because I know they'll make more...wait..who said that?

Coma! Glad to see that someone out there is familiar with the Epi #2's! I have been saying the same thing about these Diplomas since the first one I smoked. I have been working on a Diploma this evening, and every draw takes me back to the Epi! I have a bunch lying in wait. Shoot me your snailer and I'll send you some back-up while you wait for that other one to dry.
