Pedgy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Length: 5 1/2" Ring Gauge: 50 Medium –Full Bodied Bought this box in Varadero back in April 2016 when I took my family on a trip. Pre light draw: Toasted tobacco, coffee and a slight barn yard (hay) Paired this stick with a Nespresso Latte (Ristretto) 1/3 – Leather, tobacco and some earth 2/3 – Much of the same as the 1/3 with some cocoa on the retro hale which was a nice added touch with the Latte. 3/3 – I cut this cigar a little short since my daughter wanted to come outside and play, left about 1 ½ inch left (but I could have literally smoked this until is disappeared, it was that good) Flavours to finish were leather, deep earth, cocoa and a touch of spice. Conclusion - I would confidently say one of my favorite CC I have had. I’m glad I have 8 left in the box to let rest for a little time. Beautiful construction, no issues with the burn and amazing flavours. Smoke time: 80 minutes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especial I just bought an Igloo 110 liter cooler to set up for aging boxes. These will sit there mostly unmolested for at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have a 70qt about 3/4 full and doesn't look like I'll be stoping soon. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time you fill it and then have to buy a bigger house just to put all of your stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcorona Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nice review. I have a tos abr 2016 box which I will rest for a year before I try one. Just curious, no creamy flavors in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, no creamy flavors in this? Overall the smoke once exhaled left a creaminess on the lips. Im generally getting use to flavours and starting to experience different notes in the cigars. I just included the notes that were more overpowering. The creaminess was throughout, especially after exhale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
