Diamondog Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Por Larranaga Edición Regional Suiza Valiosos Box date: unknown, in humidor just shy of a year Pyramid 6X52 Handmade Cuban Wrapper: Nice brown wrapper with a reddish hue, nice sheen Construction: Smooth, excellent construction, well packed, no soft spots, excellent draw Pre draw: Tobacco and a light fig flavour 1 /3 Starts at a medium full, first draw hit with strong chocolate and roasted coffee flavours, nice sweetness develops, first third ends with a nice hazelnut flavour 2/3 2nd third continues with nutty tones with the rich chocolate flavours coming back, a little pepper starts on the lips, and continues with chocolate and nutty tones consistent through the end of the 2nd third 3/3 Cigar remains in a chocolate nutty profile in the back end, pepper on the lips has picked up a bit and the cigar has moved in to a full body, can really feel the nicotine picking up, briefly a plum flavour makes an appearance but doesn`t last and the cigar ends with the chocolate and roasted coffee flavours Draw and burn: Excellent draw, just the right amount of resistance, had some burn issues, needed several touch ups throughout but I believe that was due to the humidity outside Overall impression: For the price paid I was expecting more complexity but this is a young cigar and I believe with a couple years more rest the flavours will develop and come out, definite aging potential on this one. Flavours were pretty consistent throughout. I have a couple more of these and believe the potential will come out with more aging. I believe this cigar will have the wow factor in a couple more years Appearance: 14 /15 Draw & Burn: 18/20 Flavour & Complexity: 26/30 Overall: 31/35 Total: 89/100
