Popular Post Philc2001 Posted June 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2017 This is the last of this box code in my possession, unfortunately. This delicate Colorado wrapped robusto sized cigar is impeccably rolled, with perfect draw. From my experience these lighter reddish wrappers have been absolutely delicious, so I had high expectations. Igniting this attractive cigar released plumes of rich oaky smoke, signaling the start of a sensual flavor journey. The early flavor profile is earthy and slightly sweet with a hint of cinnamon. Body starts out as moderately medium. My chosen libation, a Guinness Rye Pale Ale, has endeared itself to me as a nice treat from an 18 pack sampler I picked up. The slightly bitter richly hopped ale is a good refreshing drink to cleanse the palate. The second third amped the body slightly, and the rich oaky aroma was joined with Cuban twang, proving very pleasing to my nasal senses. The flavor is incredibly balanced now with some cedar tones, and what seemed like sweet paprika wafting in periodically. The last third continues to evolve slightly, and remained pretty cool. I've been trying to smoke slower of late, which helps keep the cigar cool, but sometimes leads to extinguished cigars. Not this SD4, it has burned flawlessly, and never once extinguished. Towards the end the flavor continued to alternate cinnamon and paprika in and out. Lovely! I wish I had more from this cab of SD4, they have been rewarding. 2002 continues to prove it was one of the best years for Cuban production. I rate this a solid 9 out of 10 on my personal scale, a delicious and solid medium bodied cigar, moderately complex, and quite fulfilling.
