Ralphin with the Gran Habano Habano #3 Review

Smoked one of these on the way back from the lab today.A bit of an epihany(sp).Good pre light draw.Then-bang-i taste coffee.My palate has arrived!This stick had none of the burn problems that seem to occur with this line.Just a full bodied gut punch.Towards the end-wham-I taste chocolate!I was so happy to be able to sense these flavors.I nubbed this bad boy.It left me with a king hell buzz.Such a buzz that I promptly vomited my lunch all over the dashboard and on my fresh uniform.Small price to pay for a great smoke.

Re: Ralphin with the Gran Habano Habano #3

Great review! I've never had any burn or barf problems with these though.

Lordy don't try a # 5. Your insides might come out. Maybe the #1's?

Re: Ralphin with the Gran Habano Habano #3

So you sent me something that made your puke? Ok, not sure to think if you like me or not.

I've heard nothing but good things about these and it's all been from donjefe.

Can't wait to try this one and it may be Friday night at poker.

Thanks again for the cigar.

I think you'll be ok.Just refrain from a dinner of potato wedges and a burrito from any stop and rob in Madisonville.

Re: Ralphin with the Gran Habano Habano #3

Good review, though I'm sorry you hurled. The #5 has always been my favorite in that line; the #3 just seemed a little to tame to me. I was also disappointed in the VL, thought it would have been much more than it was.
