[QUOTE="JimInks, post: 332393, member: 2673"] Nearly night and day. The new version has no perique. A spicey Dark Fired Kentucky is substituted. The Virginias are darker now, and the coins are bigger. In the old days, the perique was centered in the coin. Now, the Kentucky is spread out thorough the coin. The hay and sour notes in the old are not much present in the new. The raisin taste for the perique is replaced by a woodsy Kentucky - the same Kentucky MacBaren uses in many of its other blends. I do like this Kentucky. Having said that, on its own merits the new Three Nuns is pretty good, and will improve if you age it. The old was great and magical and legendary, and I smoked it for over twenty years. You might want to try the new version, and you may well like it. But don't expect it to be what it used to be. You can't replace magic and legend very easily. [/QUOTE]
