“Vegas Raibana Don Aleandro”

[Jaksen]

More and more Vegas cigars are undergoing my inspection and is slowly becoming a regular item in my humidor. When reaching for an easy premium cigar, the choice is often the Famosos or the larger Double Corona – Don Aleandro…

What a lovely creamy start with a waterfall of nutty notes in this 6 year old cigar. It’s like smoking a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream. Open an aged white wine, find a comfortable chair and let this fine cigar ease your worries for a couple of hours.

There is milk on the draw, almond on the tongue, a light coffee/chocolate in the aftertaste and a mixture of cocoa, almond and coffee in the scent. There are moments of a heavy coffee and a pinch of pepper in moderations. This is really a relaxing medium bodied smoke with a spectacular earthy flavor spectrum. I rate it 93 from a box dated 09/2004.

VR Don alejandro is one of my favourites, great review couldn't agree more, but it's not a Corona Grande it's a Double Corona.

Nice review. I recently smoked my last 04 VRDA. Lovely flavor as you said, but my box was very under filled. A DC should last longer than 45 minutes!

Thanks for the review, I've been smoking the famosos and the familiars, haven't had the DA's yet, but will def pick one up.
