I really did it......

[MMAB]

OK...just finishing up a Diamond Crown Maximus Churchill.

Does it taste good? Yes.

Is it worth $16? Well.....not really.

As I was smoking it I got the feeling that I was smoking a Fuente Double Chateau with another years age on it.

Don't get me wrong. I'll buy them again for special times when I want a nice presentation and I also must keep in mind that, as I've said before, cigar smoking is incidental.

Maybe the DC didn't like the breakfast I had or the Starbuck's coffee or maybe it was too humid this morning as we're in the middle of an early heat wave here in New England.

I'll try one again. But for the meanwhile I'll still go to a Fuente or Patel Sungrown for better flavor and lower cost.

I'll hold off on the nudes of myself for the time being too.

OK.....a last minute addition - Just in the time it took to enter this post, my DC Max went out! Shocking! A re-light! That tells me that the excessive humidity outside has probably affected the cigar a bit. So in all fairness I will have to try another one. $16 a stick!
