Finally got to smoke mine last night and it was not like DE UC. I smoked the toro and it was a solid 1.5hr burn. My palate isn't as seasoned as some of you but it was a really tasty stick earthy, woody, a little chili heat, a nice sweet spice (cinnamon?) and a chocolate coffee taste here and there. Overall a solid smoke. Oh I had this with a Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout and wow did they compliment each other!! But that's just my opinion and Im a newb 🙂

I need to find more. Got my first fiver for a decent price. Cost has gone up since then.

This was the smokiest cigar I"ve EVER had. But despite the room-fogging smoke (seriously saw clouds of smoke pour out when I opened the garage door) it was a very good stick. Light draw, medium-full flavor without much punch. A plethora of flavor (dark flavor - cocoa, pepper, leather, oil), without going bitter even down to the nub.

I'm a DE fan to start, so this was really right up my alley. I've not had a DE product I didn't like (though the infused lines have lost their appeal)

This cigar really blew me away. I write little notes and letter grades on the bands. This one got an A, and a note of "f'ing buy more"

Disclaimer: IM a noob and I don't know what I'm talking about.

Had my first today... Solid as a rock but very nice easy draw. Super slow burn. 2hrs for me.... Excellent burn, draw, smoke... I was not wowed by the flavor. Coulda been the dark roast black coffee paired with it overpowered it. But seemed kinda bland for a full bodied stick. I would like to revisit it with a lighter beverage. Perhaps once all the silly hype has died down and can get here for $4...

I have 25 in the humidor. Got mine from my local B&M for 4.90 a stick. I might finally light one up tomorrow or some time this week hopefully.

I love the LP9 and the T52. The Nica Rustica and Undercrown, not so much. I wouldn't buy them again.

Tried one this afternoon - OK construction, good burn but wrapper was cracked in a small spot - didn't affect burn at all. Taste was mostly earth & some pepper, not a lot. Not complex. I thought the Undercrown was a tad mellower. More mellow? Whatever...

N.R. is a good, slightly above average maduro smoke. Not as good as Pinar del Rio Tres Ligas Maduro Limitada though, which can be had for under $2per from another on-line cigar retailer. Of course it was a huge surprise at that price.

[quote=deadeyedick]If you are not a fan of the UC I don't think you will like these any better. Just tried my first one. Smokes like an oily rag. Flavor profile: same 🤦

Have to agree with Rick on the burn, although I'd say it was more like it had wax or sumpin in there with the tobacco....

It Did burn weird. I won't be after any more of these
