San Cristobal - La Punta OEB MA07

[Joker]

On a clear cold Perth evening, have cranked up the outdoor heater, poured a shot of Highland Park 16yr scotch whisky and set about reviewing the San Cristobal - La Punta.

Pre light - slightly veiny wrapper / milk chocolate colour

- soft spots near foot

- sweet tobacco smell

- slightly loose draw / sweet hay flavour

Fist third - buttered raisan toast

- smooth / no harshness

- uneven burn requiring touching up

Second - slight spice on the palette / nutmeg flavour coming thru

Last third - nice tobacco flavour

- combination of the toast / spice flavours

Smoke lasted 1 hr 20min

Overall - smooth enjoyable smoke

- not overly complex

- leaves a pleasant after taste

Nice review Joker and great pics mate.

I love the La Puntas, can often be strong and full with a nice hint of Maple syrup.

Good cigar, good scotch, good pics. I think your review is a front runner in the contest.

A great cigar,these,strong enough,but generally with alot of sweetness.

great review mate

You hit a La Punta dead square in the middle of the bell curve of their flavour profile. A typical la Punta.

I find when they are a touch fuller (to the right of that bell curve) they deliver so much more as everything becomes so much more defined and intense.

A great change of pace cigar when you nail the right one.
