Scrubber Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 This has been my first year where I have really delved deep into CCs. It has been a great journey so far and one which I look forward to continuing for many years to come. This cigar was smoked a couple months ago now but it has stuck in my mind. When time permits, there are few things that compare to a good Lusi and this year has produced some fantastic examples. This stick came from a 10 count box which I seem to recall Rob saying were really high quality this year. First third: Very creamy and smooth. I would describe it as a sweet cream. It wasn't a caramel or sugar sweetness but just a sweet creamy tobacco. Very hard to describe. Second third: Sweet cream remains but is joined by a strong nut taste with a slight spice. This reminds me of the smell when walking past one of those vendors that sell fresh roasted nuts. Great flavours. Final third: The nut taste stays but intensifies. The cream is still there but more in the background. There is still a subtle ****. The retrohale is just so smooth even towards the end of the stick. Construction and burn of this stick was absolute perfection. Almost 2 and half hours of smoking pleasure and I didn't need to touch it up at all. The burn was razor sharp all the way through. 3

MrGTO Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I love a nice Lusi when time permits! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
irratebass Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Haven't had a Lusi yet, but have heard great things, and they are now on my list to buy. Nice review, thanks for sharing.
ayepatz Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Lovely stuff. One of my favourites. Sitting on a box at the moment. I'm not allowed to smoke indoorsat home, so I'll have to wait until the Spring!
subport Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Got a box with the exact same code and date. Will smoke one (or 2) during the xmas break. The review made me more excited now. Thanks
TheMonk Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 All the 2014 Lusis I've been smoking have been superb. It was definitely a great year for these.
