Default Re: The MCS Contest blind review

I'm glad you survived, Mark!

That was a Lianos Dos Palmas cigar rolled in Charleston SC about 2.5 years ago.

Those are super high in nicotine and even I have to smoke them real slow. I did have one out the 20 I purchased taste real bad. Nothing at all like the rest I've smoked. I may have sent you a dud. For the most part, I really like their stuff. I don't believe the sticks I got at the shop are the same as they sell on the website. Scott, the owner told me to call if I wanted more of them while I was there.

Here's a link to the site:

Not that you'll buying any of their stuff based on first impressions!

Hmmmmm

Disappointing, for sure! I've had a number of their sticks, never had one that effected me that way! But, I've never had any of their full or extra full-bodied sticks! Thanks for the review Mark. Don't let that stick be your only impression of this shop, though.

I'm glad to know that I was an anomaly, Scott! I'll definitely give their stuff another shot, but probably in a much smaller RG, which is way more my style.
