ESG nice but....

[siriusstoogie]

I had my very first ESG last night. Very nice smoke. :thumbs: Flavorful, smooth albeit the flavor did not change over the course of smoke. Needless to say, I enjoyed the smoke but with over 20 bucks per stick price point detracts me from getting bowled over. May be my review was marred by the under 10 bucks per stick of a May 05 HDM double corona I had a few days ago. Now that's value!

Yeah, I tend to agree at the moment. My first was fine, but it didn't knock my socks off. But I attribute that to the hype.

I have another resting comfortably, I'll give it another go in a month or so.

agreed, i was a little disappointed as well on my first ESG, good, but not great.

I think these babies will settle down, marry well and smoke
great after 6 month rest in your humi.

you can get the same size stick in a Montesino Maduro for $2.50, and the flavours are complex and they change.

Yeh, but you don't get that band.

Yikes I just paid 16.20 a stick for em...

I liked the first one I smoked but am anxiously awaiting the 1 year humi time anniversary of my other 3. We'll see how good they are then.

I agree. My two other sticks are going into deep sleep. Heck of a band though, huh.

I've had two at my local shop. I have to agree, at $20+ per stick, it doesn't wow.

I have two in the humi that are aging. I plan to wake them up in 6 months to a year and see what the slumber has done for them.

You're right, but I usually just take the band off and toss it anyway.

NOOOOoooooo! Wifey would scream if she heard you say that! They'll make some fantastic earrings. It takes 4 to make a pair. I only have one so far with one in not so Infinite storage (she can't have it yet).
