Saturday I'm driving from Salem, Oregon to L.A. and I'm going to need something to keep me awake and occupied. I've decided to smoke one of each of the New Havana house cigars on the way down. I don't have the ELO #1 so it will make a total of seven. That should average out to one every 2 hours. What order should I smoke them in?

i would go #5, #2, #3 the #4

Then i would go back to #5, then to #3 and after that it won't much matter what you smoke last.

Trust me on that order it will allow you to see the development of the common flavors.

#5 will be a butt kicker for such a little guy...lots of flavor, lots of strength

#2 will be similar in flavor, but a little more subdued due to the size. it won't overwhelm you as much. dont' get me wrong, it'll be great, but just not so powerful.

#3 will be the #5 and #2 intensified...same deep flavors but taken to the next level.

#4 will be complete change of pace.

OOops, wait, i didint' realize you had the ELs too.

Not sure whcih #1 you don't have, but my orifinal post was for the ELOs

As for the ELs, if you've got the #1, smoke it first, then #2 and then #4

#1 EL is finess, #2 adn #4 are pure power...if you smoke 2 and 4 first, you'll never taste #1

As for the ELOs
go with my original order if you don't have that #1,

If you do have the ELO #1, go 2,1,5,3,4, if no ELO #1, go 5,2,3,4

That sounds like a pretty good plan. The 5 should make for a dandy of an eye opener. I might have to alternate between the ELO's and the EL's. I find the EL's to be considerably milder.
