Nosotros - photography & review

[jerseyjay]

I smoked my last Nosotros this past weekend and I can report that cigar definitely benefited from extra aging. In construction department, cigar had a well applied Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper with few dark running veins. If you enjoy looking at dark oily wrappers, Nosotros is an extreme opposite. I can probably go to Home Depot, buy an ultra fine sandpaper and you wouldn’t know the difference – it is that ‘sandy’ to touch. Burn has improved, drastically. With my very first sample, I recall sitting there for 1.5hr with a cigar in my left hand / a lighter in my right hand and performing a touch-up procedure for equal amount of time – it was annoying. Although the burn was far from being razor sharp, I only touched it up twice. Flavors – I can’t slice this cigar into 3s since there is definitely not enough complexity. Normal puffs and retrohale presented enjoyable spice on the lips, tongue and a small amount in the back of the throat. If you enjoy ‘wood’ in your taste, there is an abundance of it in Nosotros. I was able to pick up small amount of chocolate / coffee / cocoa. The amount of smoke on the 2nd/3rd puff was out of control. Photographing the nub and ensuring that I get sufficient amount of smoke was a piece of ‘cake.’ In conclusion, one would ask “Is Nosotros Worth The Box ?” Probably not. “Few singles ?” Yes. My expectation is extremely high when it comes to Dion’s Illusione brand and Jonathan’s Liga Privada brand. I hope they continue to innovate and continue to meet my expectation. Who knows, maybe some day we will see Nosotros Take 2.

You can get nosotros bundles at outlaw cigar for cheap because they have been discontinued because of bad blood between dion and drew.

You know that Dion and Drew got into some kind of huff over this cigar and it has been discontinued. Kinda like a lot of good CCs I know and love...

Some folks call them 'seconds' - cigars that didn't pass set QC process. I'm not interested in 'seconds.' Too many good cigars out there to chase cigars that fail QC.

Tried this cigar. It was a dud, especially for the price. No one I knew was terribly surprised that it got discontinued. The new Illusione singulare was pretty good however.

Nice photos!

I agree with you on the Singulare...quite impressive.
