Por Larranaga Picadores ULE JUL 14

[SirVantes]

Vitola: Hermosos No.4 / 48 x 127

Box Code: ULE JUL 14

Pre-light: Silky wrapper, with a slight musky, feral aroma.  Cold draw was clean tobacco; a little easier than I'd like. 

1st third: Right from the first draws, I'm getting Swiss roll, the sugar-coated ones.  Sweet, dense, mouth-coating smoke.  A little nuttiness on the retrohale.  I find myself wanting to chew the smoke. Very nice start.

2nd third: Good burn.  More pronounced chocolatey nuttiness now.  It's Nutella!  The sweetness now has a slight tang to it, reminding me of grape jelly, which comes and goes, and keeps me guessing. Solid medium body.

Last third: The sweetness has melded nicely with the darker choc nut flavours.  Smoking past the band, I get cookie dough. Burn has been straight and true throughout, and despite the easy draw there was no harshness towards the end.  Ends medium-bodied.

 

Final notes: I'm tickled by the associations with all those fattening, tooth-rotting things that I haven't had for ages, but evidently remember fondly.  A thoroughly enjoyable smoke for me.

Score: 93
