With Cavendish burley and Virginia I can see how that Stillwell Star Holiday 2022 wouldn't be too bad, but the ones featuring Latakia or Perique are a bit discordant.

This is not terrible or “ruining my palate”
I don’t know what the other sticks will taste like. But this one I would not be afraid to smoke again.
Will try the others eventually. But people should make up their own minds on these.
They’re strong though.
After reading this I'm considering still never trying another one ever again. I agree that everyone needs to make up their own mind. My mind and my sense of taste and smell both told me they suck.

You do you, but the mass hysteria that ensued over me posting a 5 pack of those was beyond stupid.
“I tried them didn’t care for them” was more than enough. “They’ll ruin your palate” and the rest of the over the top bullshit was asinine.
It’s pipe tobacco and cigar tobacco. No one said they were going to rival a Padron. But the vitriol over them also not deserved.

I guess other peoples opinions on a cigar are considered asinine or over the top. I thought on a cigar forum opinions are just opinions. Huh, who would have figured? In my humble opinion of course.

Not at all, I really couldn’t care less if someone else doesn’t like something I do.
It was the over the top vitriol I had issues with, but waited until I actually smoked one of them before I spoke.
I like this forum for the exchange of opinions and experiences.
But there is a line when people believe theirs is the only opinion that matters that was crossed.
If you don’t care for a smoke, saying so is not an issue, making outrageous claims however crosses that line into the asinine.
That’s all I have to say on the matter, I like the forum.
But can easily cross it off my list if this belief is somehow too controversial.

Our opinion was that they suck. Your opinion is that they don't. Do you see how you're dismissing our opinion? And we should take your opinion as gospel? I guess one's definition of opinion differs from one person to the next. My opinion is they still blow....

Understood. However, I haven’t seen anyone be abusive with opinions. I’ve seen strong opinions, usually with explanations or experiences, of a cigar, explaining themselves, but never abusive or malicious. Nor claiming their opinion is absolute.
Unless of course, we know the personalities of those various characters and because we know them, it’s taken with a grain of salt, kind of tongue in cheek if you will.
I personally, have said that the hand of five is one of the worst cigars I’ve ever had which resulted in an onslaught of jokes and one liners about my goat palette. I expected nothing less. The difference is, over time we have learned about each other by investing time to get to know one another.
That is why I said what I said, jokingly, as a reply. You may or may not know the personality of whose opinions you consider vitriol. You don’t know me. If you did, you would immediately know I was trying to get your goat. My particular point is opinions are one person’s opinion, nothing more nothing less. Lighten up a little. Life is too short. Enjoy the forum.

Looks like I hit the enter button before the picture uploaded. I don't want to deprive you of the glory of this smoke.

I'm having a very rare morning cigar (Ozenger Firsat) with my good friend Tony.
