I'd second that. Try a lower humidity... the LAdC ee is a great cigar. It was one of the blends that got me into Pepin's work.

The humidor reads 65.

The humidor reads 65.

I mentioned this awhile back, all sour taste and burn issues point to a consistently high humidity. I'm assuming you are using a good digital hygrometer and not the cheap metal dial one that comes on most humis? And I'm assuming you have salt tested it to verify its reading Accurately? I still think you are somewhere high of 70~75.

These have been in his humi three days max, I doubt they taste bad because his RH is high.I went back through to check and might have missed it, but did he say he had a burn issue?

It's a very solid blend, never had an issue...give it another shot..

I found a few of these LadC lanceros at a B&M and found them to be very good. Extremely smooth retro.

Everyone's tastes are different and I certainly wouldn't say you're wrong in your assessment. As for me, I think they're a really solid smoke and have never gotten anything you mentioned in terms of flavor profile. The surprise to me is the ash, you don't mention burn issues per say but constantly wanting to go out and the dropping ash is opposite of my experience. I agree with the rest; try another, you never know. I wish I still had one, I'd send it to you. Dropping cash on a stick you're already dubious of is hard to do.

Haha, this is awesome.When can we talk about how much I hate My Fathers and Olivas?

I wish I could've found more! They only had 3, and I may have one left if you want it. I only smoked one, so I don't remember a whole lot except for it was skinny, it was long, and it was good. Definitely was a special ed. don't know about ee, I will have to go look at it!

I had a LaDC Mi Amor not too long ago that did not do much for me. The ash was as far from solid as it could be. It seemed really bland to me. I've liked everything else I've had from DPG/MF but this was not good at all. No real burn issues, just didn't hold an ash. I'm not surprised by this review. Diff'rent strokes I guess.

Very interesting. I love the original La Aroma De Cuba, since it has that strong spicy flavor I like. I didn't like LADC Mi Amor as much--it didn't have the same level of spice and fullness as the original. Still, one of the few cigars I've actually bought more than one of recently. I think I am definitely in the Pepin camp.
