CNY- Cohiba Esplendidos RUM JUN17

[Diabolicalpherpher]

Today I took refuge from the bitter cold into the lounge and decided to take an Esplendido.

First third: Grassy very muted 

Second third. Hint of citrus, grass, and bread. 

Last third: baking spice and citrus

Good burn and my hands stayed nice and toasty so that was nice.

It was a free admissions for residents day at the local art museum...closest cigar related art I could find. One of the most iconic, nighthawks.

Probably thinking how that esplendido could be so muted and quite bland.  I did taste the grass and citrus but I had to look hard to find them.

Thanks for the review. The Esplendido is the only Cohiba I've had that I truly enjoy, but I've never smoked one younger than 3 years. In my experience, at 5 years they start to develop, and they keep improving past 10 years. But bear in mind I'm not a fan of Cohiba, so my views may be slanted.
