La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 4 : ETP ENE 16 : Juan Lopez Review Comp 2016

[Ethernut]

A short review - while I practice my hand modeling. Which begs the question, is hand modeling a job? If so is it a hand job? (see what I did there?) 

1st third

Sweet coffee cream, floral retrohale, honey on burnt toast, but building strength... Not wicked complex but a great, enjoyable smoke. Nicky Santoro is standing straight jacket restrained in the corner. Oscillating like wild chaos, pissed, eyes fixed, nostrils flared, clicking an old worn-out Bic like a nervous prisoner on death row an hour before the end.. Nicky know's he's going to get loose, not just if, it's when. (and I know it too)

 

2nd third

Dark chocolate notes.. Bitter, needs some age I think, grassy smoke, ash on the drag like an estate pipe long after the dottle has dried. Nicky has just begun slipped his restraints..

 

Final third

Lost all interest and smashed in the mister stinky. Primarily because Nicky got loose and was peeling tables like Moses parting the red sea to get to me. I was terrified.. Big things do come in small packages. Had to stop the aftermath. Putting these babies to bed for a while. I'll keep the clasp lock closed to keep the demons at bay!

The first third shows great promise and I look forward to revisiting these 'fellers in a year or so - It is however a cigar I'm glad I own.
