Tried my very first ERH this weekend, and it was an excellent, delicious smoke. Enjoyed it immensely, from the prelight draw and aroma, to its deep and complex smoke flavor up to the last inch. Full-bodied with a hint of spiciness. This is a serious cigar with loads of flavor to keep you interested. Considering my limited experience with NCs (Puros Indios, Macs, SPDM, Padron, LGC) this one is definitely tops.
