The high-end Black n Mild didn't perform well as a luxury cigar, huh? Kind of the reception I thought they'd receive from regular cigar smokers. I'm sure the Master Blend 3 fixed your palate very well - burned through the last of my OR Master Blend 3 last winter and they were still strong and flavorful.
'13 San Cristobal de la Habana La Punta on the way home from work for me. It was never my favorite vitola in the line, but was a nice, complex journey that, true to the brand, was like enjoying a plateful of pancakes with maple syrup.
