HDM Epi Especial EL KMM DIC 04

[Bartolomeo]

-Very dark Maduro wrapper, nice oily sheen, minor cracked foot, feels good in hand

-Leather and Black pepper greet me to say hello on the initial puff

-Rich cream comes in the first 3 mins smoking this cigar, wasting no time out of the gate

-This is the last of a fiver I bought back in September, love this smoke!

-Chocolate and spice ring out in the 1/3 along with some coffee and light caramel

-I always think of a semi-spicy candy bar when I think of this cigar

-Impossible to find and if you do find them, I have see them command $700+

-This Robusto Extra size is another reason I favor them

-2/3 is more coffee/wood/spice and cream is toned down a touch, all very rich flavors

-Aftertaste is nice but not long

-Ash looks really close to White against the dark wrapper, even burn, slow burn rate, everything working together nicely

-This could be an every day cigar for me between the size-flavor and enjoyment, and I have yet to try a regular production of the Epi Especial

-Medium-Full in profile pretty much the whole time

-83 mins smoke time

-Final 1/3 is woody, dark chocolate and cream with some rustic leather

-9.2/10
