Had an 1844 last weekend and wondered what everyones opinion was on the right amount of time to age it? I liked it, but was picking up some harshness?
Two questions come up, you've asked one, and it may be the right one. The other question; How fast do you smoke?. Is the burning end nice and flat when you ash? or do you create a cone of fire that harshens up the tobacco? Very easy to do, and to correct. Happens to me all the time.
i just saw a corona sampler with a 1844 dos capos in it ( baarberpole) wonder if they are coming out with them as i love the lhc dos capos
Would you consider the CAO America to be a true "barber pole" or does the outer wrapper have to have a more 50/50 look to it? I realize that may be a dumb question, but I have about as much experience with dos capos as I do with brain surgery. Furthermore... if a cigar has 2 actual wrappers(in addition to the binder, of course), but only one is rolled to be visible (so that the cigar looks traditional) is it still considered dos capos, just not a barber pole?

The pin stripe method and the 50/50 method use the exact same amount of both wrappers, it is only a matter of how much is hosing so in theory you could make the the CAO america in a 50/50 instead of pin stipe and it would be exactly the same. You could also do a maduro with Connie stripe or Connie with maduro stripe and the flavor is identical. Same amount of wrapper, just a matter of what is showing and how it is being presented.

The LHC DC is awesome. I need about 40 more of these cigars. And I already have 25...
Did anyone else notice that the sampler that the 1844 barberpole is in is a AJ Fernandez sampler? I guess the "mystery blender" has finally been revealed publically!

Dwayne....You have had how many 1844 and didn't realize it was an AJ stick? Come on. I know you better than that even in my short time here. Read and respond to your PM btw .
I've had em ROTT, and with a months rest and they're great both ways. They do get better as time passes, so have one right away and save some for later.
I just had my first 1844 #50 this Wednesday, it had about 2months of rest on it. The first inch was somewhat spicy but not overpowering, then it smoothed out and had a nice balanced earthy/maduro taste, that flavor profile stayed the same until about the last inch where it got a little spicy again. Very good smoke for the $$ IMO

well, saw that sampler was back in stock a couple weeks ago so today thought about hitting it and now the 1844 coronas i saw are now the lhc dos capos, so maybe theres no 1844 corona after all,me thinks someone screwed up,lol
there is an 1844 dos capas ive seen in a sampler.. somewhere else, not that ive shopped there for a longg time since discovering ccoms service. but i do occasionally browse through their catalog.
