San Cristobal - El Principe EML FEB15 Weekend Review

[glassbase]

Time got away from me this weekend, as I was busy hanging out with the little one and spending time with my wife. I usually enjoy 2-4 cigars a weekend but didn't have the time. This morning the sun was shining so I grabbed the dogs and took them to play fetch while the little one took her morning nap. I grabbed an El Principe, I can't get enough of these things and I am now half way through a box in just a couple months.

Draw was perfect, haven't had any issues in the entire box. The foot smelled of barnyard with a touch of pepper.

The first third I was blasted with cocoa-y goodness and some subtle earthy flavours throughout.

The second third shifted slightly to a more sweet cocoa reminiscent of milk chocolate with some cedar/wood notes combining to make a great pairing with my morning coffee.

The last third changes entirely and offers up pepper, leather, and tobacco. The final thirds flavours are strong and pronounced and they meld with the lingering sweet cocoa flavours provided in the first/second third.

I would like to know what they will change into after a few years but the temptation is too great.

Hope everyone's weekend was great.

Cheers,

Nice review. The only chance you have to get them aged is to buy more than you smoke

Yes, they are as you describe! I've got 15 left and I'm pleased to say that I haven't touched one for over a week...it's a miracle!
