Por Larranaga Regalia de Londres UK 2010

[Lant63]

I love Por Larranaga, so I have high hopes for this cigar. That paired with the raving reviews, I expect a lot from this.

Pre-light: barnyard, honey, hay, sugar, very nice.

First third: opens with sweet cream that coats the pallate. Very rich and decadent. Touches of honey sneak in here and there that elevate the flavor profile a lot.

Second third: a transition to roasted walnuts with a hint of cinnamon. Still very sweet and light. The flavor coats the pallate nicely. It is pairing amazing with the Glenlivet 15. Neither is over powering the other.

Final third: cinnamon cream and richness. It reminds me alot of a rice pudding. More honey and hay with roasted nuts as it finishes building in intensity. The cigar does lose some of the cream in this final third but it was still delightful.

Final thoughts: great construction and build, the resistance was perfect. I could smoke these and ED54 for the rest of my life. Two completly different animals but I give them the same score of 96. I'm happy that I tracked these down when I did. I can only imagine what the Magnificos must taste like. I think I will have to find a couple now. I only hope the sober aliens release this year reach the same level.
