gigabyte056 Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Smoked this one on Friday outside in the garden at around 10pm. Temp 28c humidty 70%, cigar didn't burn razor sharp and had to relight once due to low bladder control Paired with Avian water. Wrapper: deep brown with some shine to it but not oily per say slightly veined but an OK wrapper. Beginning: Pepper and cinnamon, cedar and wood , ash flakey no more than cm. First 1/3: Medium in body. Woody with a touch of nuts ,cinnamon and caramel back taste of floral honey , slightly salty Second 1/3: Medium body . Still nuts, more pronanoced tobacco taste and some dargeling tea with some slight cinnamon notes , saltiness gone Last 1/3: Nuts gone, tobbaco , dargeling tea and cinnamon. Nubbed it: The cigar didn't evolve a lot but a satisfying 60 minute smoke, I prefer these earlier in the day since they fit the bill with some coffee. Rated it 87.
nonameno Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Hello Smokinpeace, Very nice review and lovely photographs as well. I think you captured this cigar very well. These Dip4's really shine when the nutmeg comes through. Thank you for sharing, Curtiss
zuma Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Really nice review... one of my favourite sticks, unfortunately they are produced no more. Thanks for sharing mate.
complex Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Nice review and photos! I think I have the same box ....
Vortigan Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Nice review and a gorgeous looking cigar.One that I'm sad to have missed out on given all the reviews I've read of it.
str8dog Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I have a few from the same factory/date that I picked up in a box split and quite enjoyed the one I smoked. Not too complex, but very smooth. Draw and burn were perfect. An short hour well spent.
pytlowana Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 just picked up a box from june 08. this is definitely my favourite petit corona by far. its a shame that they had to discontinue it
jedipastor Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Great review! I LOVES me some cinnamon in cigars I have some of these from '09 as well. I've only had one, but it was not ready yet, quite muted and not much beyond the typical tobacco flavor. How long until these tend to hit their stride, typically?
CBL Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Great review! I LOVES me some cinnamon in cigars I have some of these from '09 as well. I've only had one, but it was not ready yet, quite muted and not much beyond the typical tobacco flavor. How long until these tend to hit their stride, typically? Yeah cinnamon in cigars is one of my favorite flavors (love cinnamon in general) as well. I also had a box of these (same boxcode as reviewer) and found the last one, smoked last week, was the best of the bunch and a HUGE improvement compared to all the ones before it. So I think 2,5/3 years should be great for these, but who knows what 5 years will do to them I ordered another box right after smoking that last one, I was so impressed by it! Another OPM 09 but from January this time. Hope they arrive soon
Styler Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Nice review, I've got 2 full 08 boxes so must make a point of trying one soon.
Dbone Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Thank you for sharing you time spent with the Dip 4. The blend in these cigars are unique and will be missed since there's not much anything like it. It doesn't try to be else. RIP Dip 4
nick17 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 vary nice my friend just got a box from 08
riazp Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Buddy of mine found a box of Dip 4s FEB 09 in cuba for me last week...last box in the lcdh...needless to say I was :D :D when he brought them back for me
perfectform Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 As Tampa used to say. Lovely "paprika spice". Glad I still have a box and a half. These put other PC's to shame in my opinion. Just too bad I can't smoke them as often as I'd like. Eff you Habanos S.A.
