New Large Sizes

[Hardheaded]

That's what I thought until my first wife left me....just sayin'.....

I walked into that one.

I smoked a 7x70 last fall, a friend of mine handed them out on his birthday, so we were all sort of obligated to smoke them. I punched it o try and minimize the draw area, and it was still a pain to smoke. The draw for all of ours was just too airy, even with a punch, and when you're puffing on something that big, you have to draw that much harder to get a good puff. It's also just uncomfortable to draw from something that large for a long period of time. You can't ever leave it in your mouth, it's too heavy. I will say it actually tasted ok. Not very complex, nothing particularly stood out, but it was decent enough.

Still, I'd never voluntarily go for a 70rg cigar, or even a 60rg. I'll take a churchill over a huge rg cigar every time. A Partagas Lusi lasts me every bit as long as a Payback, but with a better draw, a much better burn, a much, much more comfortable mouth feel, and suuuuch better flavor.
