C&D HABANA DAYDREAM

[sapo59]

Has anyone smoked this blend. Sounds interesting and would like to hear what you think about it.

 

[jonesing]

Yep.
I dig it.
Burns and smokes like a drug store burley. No bite. complex and noticeable but not ball breaking cigar overtones.
I like it a lot and will buy more as a staple.
I saw a guy on one of the pipe vlogs saying for him cigar leaf eliminates tongue bite. Sort of makes sens if it's a chemistry thing.

Hmmm...how to explain it.
I'd say its a 4-5 on a 1-10. And it does get heavier farther down. I smoked it in a big bowl and it got to be a little cigary.
Very fine smoke though.

Ghost-Try C&D's Billy Budd, if you like cigar blends and latakia. 5 star blend. IMO.

 

[jonesing]

Yeah people sseem to lean toward Habana Daydream being a toned down version of Billy Budd. Less cigar and maybe a little tamer latakia.
Oppie.
I know you're a Crowley's Best guy. How about some other similar C&Ds. I'm putting together a bulk sampler order of the stuff in the burley, VA/Latakia/Perique ball park.. Recommend any adds or subtract?
So far I have
1) Crowley's Best
2)OJK
3) Bailey's Front Porch
Also snagging soem Bald Headed Teacher (4 Noggins) and Forgotten Memories (John Patton).
Oh and I already have Night Train.

Jonesing, Engine 99 is really good. Just a little to much latakia for me if I smoke it in the morning. Morley's best is 5 stars. 3 Friars is also excellent. Crowley's Best is the best tobacco I have ever tasted. Bayou Morning is also 5 stars. Bayou Night is the strongest tobacco I have ever had, both in taste and nicotine. However it is wonderful. Epiphany, I think you will also like. Not to over powering. Out of your list I have not had Baileys Front Porch. OJK is stellar, If you think it may be a little strong, try Haunted Bookshop, same blend just toned down a bit.
