[QUOTE="JimInks, post: 331834, member: 2673"] PH Curly is not like the VaPer Three Nuns. It doesn't have the spice and raisin flavor that the VaPer Nuns did, nor does it match the sweet and sour taste. PH Curly is good, but a little lighter in strength and much more Va. forward, and the perique is barely noticeable to me. The lack of Brazilian lights is evident, too. I'm aging two tins of the Curly to see what happens in about 5 years. The last time I smoked it (early this year), I was adding perique, but it still didn't match the VaPer Three Nuns. The new Three Nuns has quite a bit of the old Vaper taste in regard to the Va. and Brazilian light components. But though the Kentucky has a nice spice note, it's just not as good a smoke as the VaPer. The sweet and sour contrast is muted in the new blend, and of course, no perique makes quite a difference. That said, I do like the new version quite a bit. In fact, I'm smoking it as I type this, and I smoked the VaPer version a couple of hours ago. I've bought a number of tins of the MacBaren mixture to smoke and also to age. I expect great results from aging it. [/QUOTE]
