Love the CroMagnons and these short perfectos look and smell fantastic
Am really stoked about the new CroMagnon Mode 5 (left).
Also decided to try my first Intermperance with the BA XXI Envy (right). The Intemperance looks a little rougher with an almost shag foot, and appears slightly darker than the CroMagnon Mode 5. The aroma was also more pugnent.
There was a heavy, earthy, barnyard aroma as soon as the package was opened. Wanted to light one ROTT but the package sat the weekend at the PO so they'll need to rest… damnit.

No love for the CroMag's???
Smoked the Mode 5 last night and it was awesome. The perfecto shape really adds to the intensity of the the CorMag flavor. And I do like the Connecticut Broadleaf! Enjoyed the perfecto more than the Knuckle Dragger.

Enjoying the Intermperance with the BA XXI Envy now. My first Intemperance and I like it. Dig the Brazil Arapiraca wrapper. Offers a smoother sweetness compared to the CroMag. Still a full and tight smoke! The open or shag foot offeres a nice subtle retro on the initial light. If you like KA Kendall's 7-20-4's you will love the Intemprance BA's.

At the $6+ price, IMHO these are box worthy.

purdy

The Intermperance in either wrapper is a great cigar. For the price they're one of the best values on the market. I think
the connie wrapped one is better than the BA but that's JMHO.

Ive always wondered about these. They sound and look good but never heard anyone really talk about them. Unfortunately i havnt seen these at the locals. Ill have to snag one if they appear

You have J.D. Howard Reserve's? How are they? Did you like?

Honestly i didnt enjoy it. I wouldnt even know how to describe the flavors to ya. It wasnt a dog rocket or nothing just wasnf for me. Especially at $9.25 a stick. Halfwheel did a review on it, check it out. Its much more detailed then my review lol.
