Well the economy has gone to the dogs and all of us are feeling the pinch. So I’ve been looking for good cigars that won’t break the budget. Most bundled cigars don’t impress me. By the time I deal with either too many bad cigars in the bundle or just too bland for my tastes I’m better off having spent some extra for a consistent cigar.
The EO No. 21 has really impressed me. I’ve smoked my way through four bundles of different sizes and had only one that I tossed out half way through because it tasted off. Construction and consistency is close to what I’d expect out of something from Eddie and Erik.
While it isn’t as complex or as strong as the other cigars from EO Brands, their definition of mild is what I consider to a bit closer to medium. Very smooth creamy smoke with a consistent almond, woody and coffee flavors.
Verdict: This has been my go to cigar for the past couple of months. It has a great balance where I can enjoy it almost any time of day.

I just saw this cigar on the EO website for the first time yesterday. I couldn’t really find much info on it. That’s a nice flavor profile. I’ll probably need to give it a try.
