So have you tried them or not? To me it seems like that factory blends their cigars marketed towards Europe. They are not known for full-bodied flavorful cigars. Then to follow up all of the questions I would pose you…., What is it about that Cigar’s flavor profile do you like?
And you said that you really like the Crown Series Double Grande….. are you talking about the Zino made at Davidoff? If that’s so I have no idea what that has to do with the EGM producing factory.
I also think that for new smokers… the brain equates price to quality. So yeah, I do think that has a little bit to do with it.
Like I said, I don’t remember the flavor profile
. It was an exclusivo, I just remembered I really liked it. And I am aware about EGM. I know that they were out of Switzerland and the blender was known for Cuban cigars. But as the demand for Cuban Cigars decreased, he got into Dominican tobacco targeting the European market, which makes it unique to American smokers. They are supposed to be more mild, I know. But I’m 36 and have smoked cigars since I was 18 so I’m not “new” but I’m not a veteran either. Each blender is an artist, and their cigars are their passion and commitment. Some are ****, and some are Michelangelo's.
And yes, I am talking about the Zino from Davidoff, the point behind it was I’m not buying cigars because of the price. I’ve said it before, I’ve had expensive cigars that tasted like ****. My palate is well seasoned.
I guess my question is, what point are you trying to make? Are you trying to discourage me from trying an EGM?

Re: Aromatic sampler pass.

I smoked this bowl yesterday. The initial light was very hot, but I tampered it and it mellowed out quick. Smoke was very full and creamy. To me it tasted like the woods if that makes sense. I got a very fresh woodsy taste from it, almost like a hint of pine with the after taste. Flavor of smoked tree nuts on the back of the tongue and a sweetness through the retro. Paired very well with my morning coffee.

Re: Aromatic sampler pass.

This blend is very nice for a morning bowl. Not strong but not too sweet. Hints of dried fruits and molasses That pairs very nicely with a coffee.
