I figured that this would't be a great first review cigar.
The best way i can start this of is by simply saying, I'm in love..
the construction was perfect (before the fact that my clumsy hands decided to drop it and make a tiny dent on the foot.)
but putting that aside it was fantastic. size description I'm taking from Half wheel:
5 1/2 - inches with a 52 ring gauge
No soft spots. were found at all, it felt even all the way through. a beautiful relish brown with some small veins
So the best way i can describe this is.. A perfect balance between Upmann and Monte #4 with age on it. the first third was fantastic, light white chocolate with cashews and molasses but not an over powering. the retrohale had high citrus and earthy notes. 2/3 the cashews disappeared and leather moved in along with that light chocolate hanging around with a medium earth taste. this is the part that reminded me of an aged Monte at this point. but the last third was just mind blowing everything comes in and balances out, the leather and nutty taste of cashews with that earthy notes... that citrus flavor is still hanging around in the retrohale with now wooden notes that were faint on the 2/3.
honestly i expected it to be young, but i found it to be just perfect. Don't get me wrong, i think age will do wonders on this. all in all I'm in absolute love with these,
So now ill ask if anyone is willing to part with a box or knows where i can get one let me know
thanks, let me know how i can better my reviews
