Diplomaticos No 2 TOS DIC 15 : Ode to the 47 to 52 gauge review week

[Cmelle]

I've only ever had 2 or 3 Dip 2s in the past and they have all been singles bought in store. The last one I smoked was probably 4 or 5 years ago. So time to see what the recent TOS Dip 2 fuss is all about. 

Wrapper is nice and dark. A bit of sheen and toothy. 

First third starts out very nicely. I get a flavour that I can't quite put my finger on, but it is amazing. Like a savoury spice. Almost reminds me of Partagas.  First third has some rough edges but that savoury spice is just brilliant. 

The second third adds a touch of salt, which i love. And some cream. So I've now got savoury spice and salted cream 

Last third adds a bit of a buttery cream.

Very enjoyable cigar. Nicotine creeps up on me and I have to put it down without nubbing. 

I really liked this cigar and I'm glad I have a full box. I enjoyed it now but I think a few short years will do wonders. Just to get rid of those knees and elbows.

TOS is La Corona. Even now 2018 box codes, La Corona and Partagas recently have been producing some stellar cigars!
