I was thinking bout the MoW badge (which I would do if it wasn't cold and I had the sticks handy) and I was thinking about something truly hard. Unfortunately Cu-Avana has only 3 lines of cigars, but I think we should make a badge that consists of this..back to back to back to back to back to back...

    The original MoW badge was only three cigars, no need to double up really.

    This separates the men from the boys though! There's no way someone can get lucky when doubling up :P

    Don't get me wrong, I understand the fun of the badge games... but the whole thing doesn't appeal to me, as it relies on one of my least favorite trends in cigars... strength. I know that these cigars are made because there is someone buying them, but it isn't me, and I don't like the unbalanced, dirty tasting pepper and nicotine bombs (which for my palate, the Punisher and Intenso both are). No thanks.

    Having never tried to go for a badge, I can't say for sure, but I think the original spirit of it was devoting a day, or a large chunk of one, to one's self, one's relaxation, and fully appreciating a given line. I don't think the three MoW blends are unbalanced powerhouses, but maybe you disagree. I will admit that it did appear to get to be a bit of a pissing contest eventually (no offense, E!), but I think if you take the original spirit of the thing, you could come up with a great badge of balanced, flavorful smokes. Heck, if you do come up with one, I might do it...provided I could find/afford your choices!

    the punisher is not intense at all imho. I just smoked one the other day after about a month in my humi. There is tons of pepper, but I also got a nice nutty woodsy taste out of it... but not much else. Would I smoke one again? Yep. Would I buy one again? No. I just didnt find it tasty or hot enough... It was a dud inmho.

    I see they're calling them Intensus now, written on a top band. The ones I have (or should say, used to have) had a foot band and said Intenso. Same stick I think, just a slightly different name. I wonder why?

    Hope they didn't change the blend any like it just the way it is. Haven't tried the Punisher yet keep missing them on sprint.

    The Intenso wasn't bad IMHO. Have yet to try the Pvnisher.

    Doc, you and I have the same mind-set. Not a big fan of the ultra full power cigars. This is not a badge I will ever earn.
