I have catfish to thank for this bad boy, the EZ inception starts off with some cyanne and black pepper that was quite a contrast from what I got from the Reagan. It is starting to settle down after about 10 or so puffs and further flavors are allowed to surface like creamy leather and the retrohale is quite smooth but there is still a noticeable hot spicyness to it.
ROTT. Very Man O War corona right off the bat. I was worried it wouldnt taste different but it only got better from there. I do love this cigar, but I seem to be fighting to keep it going now. For some reason I have this trouble more with coronas.

Drew great choice, I bought a box a year ago myself almost to the day and they are smoking superbly! As for the size issues and keeping them lit, two questions. 1) what is your rH set at and 2) what does the ember look like when you ash it meaning the cherry of the cigar?
To answer why I asked, to the first question... If you are 68% or higher try dryboxing the cigar for 45 min or an hour before lighting next time. The heavy ligero content of the tobacco especially with it being ROTT has significantly more oils and moisture in it which leads at times to them not wanting to smolder and burn quite as long as others, so getting them a touch dryer should solve that straight away. As for the second question... I know it probably sounded odd, but you might be smoking too fast or too slow which is very easy to do with smaller rg cigars. There is a very simple and fool proof way to tell if you are smoking at the right pace regardless of vitola of the cigar. When you ash it the cherry should ideally be perfectly flat. This does two things, one being that it burns all of the leaves at the identical pace providing you with the exact flavor that the blender intended when he made this cigar. And two, if the cherry is in a cone shape it shows that you are smoking too fast because the outlets leaves are burning faster than the inner leaves because the inner don't have enough time to cook down so to speak. The same is true in reverse if the cone is point inwards towards you... Smoking too slow because the core is having too much time to smolder and you aren't igniting the outer leaves quickly enough by letting it sit. You want the ash to fall straight and the cherry to be flat like a coin.
Hope this helps in some way, but if you have any more questions just hit me up bro.
Had an EP Carillo that I ordered last week and I put it out about a quarter through. Very unenjoyable I must say. Hard drag, barely any smoke and was very plain. I have four more so ill give it another go in a few days.
LFD Double Ligero Chiselito. Tried double punching this one, and it is pretty nice, even on the smaller size tip. It brings out a lot of the nut in the flavors. No picture...phone died. Will try to get one with the tablet, but it needs charged, too.

With all this 60rg talk, I started the night smoking a MUWAT from Medic45.
Was herfin with a couple guys showin off the stash...opened the Trinidad tubo I bought for SleevePlz upcoming tubos and coffins pass (is this still happening?) and found a light dusting of mold around the band. $hit! Brushed that off and I am smoking it now.
Sure am glad I'm finding some time to relax with a good cigar. Enjoying a Nub Connecticut and a Blue Moon Belgian White. Another great combo. Life is good.
