I haven’t been purging as much as I used to, but I hadn’t thought about doing it for a goofy burn. I’ll have to try it.
I was surprised that you found the Black to have such a strong oak influence since it’s a ruby. Small wonder you thought it was an LBV.

Just realized I missed your comment about Purging. I always try a purge when the cigar is either getting harsh and also sometimes when the burn is going wonky it can help. I do find that you gotta let it sit a bit after the purge though cause it gets really hot and the first draw afterwards can be pretty harsh

I could be wrong here Tadd but I think each year is limited. The “Cojonu” line will continue but the blend will change with each release. If anyone knows for sure, feel free to chime in.
I’ve only had the chance to smoke a single 06 Cojonu and it was very good even after a 6 year rest. Can’t wait to try the 12, Tony and I are both suckers for a good Broadleaf! lol

bwahaha, nicely played Corey! I got nothing against Pete, he makes some good sticks. This one just wasn’t a big winner for me, I have no doubt that some people loved it and maybe didn’t have the burn issues I did. But I can only comment on my expriences and we like to keep it real here! lol
thanks again for the support bud!

That’s interesting jjo! It didn’t say it was an LBV on the bottle but based on the flavor I assumed it was. I usually find the Ruby’s to be a lot sweeter. Very interesting indeed. It was tasty though so I’d definitely buy it again.
The six Grapes stuff is pretty good, especially if you find it at a killer price!

I think I’ve seen that port around here, so I may have to check it out sometime. After doing a little research, I found that the Black is actually a Reserve Ruby, rather than an LBV, but who cares – it sounds good! I’ve been sticking with the Graham’s “Six Grapes” port lately, since the liquor stores have had them at a great price.
