Here's one I just posted in other forums on January 11th, before I came aboard here:

Had this impulse buy resting in my humi for a little over 4 years now and decided I wanted to smoke something "fun" today while watching some playoff football. It was definitely a fun smoke.

Pre-light:
Smelled great. Smooth pre-light draw. Construction was top notch considering it's size and shape. Was actually able to rest it on my Stinky while I smoked it.

Post-light:
Mild. Slight grassy taste. As expected, didn't burn very evenly. Had to touch up quite a bit to try to even the burn, but it never went completely out. Ash held on for the entire smoke.

Overall, it was a good, fun smoke. I wouldn't buy "this" Egg again b/c it was too mild for me, but I will pick up the Maduro Egg to try at a future date.

I did have 1 horizontal and 1 vertical. i didn't realize until after I posted the pics that i chose the wrong one to post. however, i deleted the pics i wasn't planning on using in the post b/c i do not like my computer folders to be cluttered.

anyways, i assure you, that ash held up pretty darn good.

i wish i could remember. it was during one of the football games last weekend and may have only lasted about half of a game. so i would say 1 to 1 1/2 hours

Nice review!

I had an Egg on the 4th of July last year. While I like most DE's, I didn't like the Egg... too bland for me. Unfortunatly, I was talking $hit with the family and hyping it for hours before I lit up, so I had to suck it up for at least an hour or I would eat crow. (or in this case, would I have Egg on my face?) :-)
