JL Corona 2002

[Bartolomeo]

-Initial puffs are leather, some cardboard taste and black pepper

-Slight box press in shape with a rough looking wrapper but feels like a solid Corona in hand

-Smoke is medium amount at this stage and chewy, sort of nice tasting on this calm before the storm here in Raleigh, 5” inches of snow forecasted tonight

-Sweet caramel coats my tongue in 1/3 along with the continued spice and some wood, very pleasant and smooth

-Tastes like a combination of an aged PLPC and Partagas profile, very nice

-Ash is flaky and dark Grey

-Had to touch up a couple of times, probably my fault for not paying attention due to working right now

-2/3 was cream and spice with some earthiness, very smooth transition from 1/3 to 2/3

-Mild-Medium start with a solid Medium in the 2/3

-Toasted nuts also show up in 2/3

-81 mins smoke time

-Last 1/3 was Medium-Full with more spice than anything but still hints of cream, leather and wood

-Enjoyed this aged cigar very much, I have a box of 04’s coming from Czar so that excites me

-9.05/10
