Smoking my last Tampa from 2010

This means I'll be updating from my smartphone while I smoke. Going to go mix me a cuba libre for an avec. Stay tuned.

Will be interesting to hear your thought on how they are doing. I still haven't had any of mine yet.

My phones browser kept crashing so no live review. But here it comes anyway.

Draw: close to perfect

Cold taste: Spicy tobacco

1/3: First puffs hit like full bodied spicy Partagas. Then it settles down to medium bodied chocolate goodiness. There's some sweetness too, like honey or fruit, can't decide which. The taste is a mixture of Monte, Partagas and EL-series. I'm loving it as much as Captain Kirk loves his mountain.

2/3: Still a lot of chocolate. Some spice and cherry too. Flavors intensify and come closer to medium-full. So good that it's hard to give this cigar a rest it needs to make sweetness to come up again. This must be the first cigar this year that really takes my attention away from other things. I just want to concentrate tasting all the fine nyances it has to offer.

3/3: I ran out of a pint of cuba libre I made earlier. Gotta get a beer. Ah, still a great cigar. Getting close to full body. More spice, a bit of coffee. Chocolate turns into darker cocoa. More cherry too. The cigar gets bit soft and needs some relighting few times. Flavors are still good when I put it down around 5 cm left. I'm fully satisfied like after a great meal.

I still got one Czar-custom left. Last year I smoked one of those and it was maybe the best cigar 2012.

When and where I can buy box(es) of these?

If the results from my searching are anything to go by these are LONG gone and the people who still have some wont part with them for love, money or the promise of your first born son.

Rob has mentioned another batch of customs are in the pipeline but I dont know when they will be released
