CNY - Cohiba siglo IV - AMO OCT 16

[dicko]

Nice looking but too thin a wrapper on this. Also was too rightly rolled. Admittedly i prefer an easier draw but i struggled a bit with this and it did affect the flavour. That said the smoke production and burn was good. I had to lop off a cm at the band to help me out after the first third.

 

1st - some coffee, cereal and nice cedar. Salty on the lips. Nothing interesting through the nose.

 

2nd - same again more cereal and tiny bits of sweetness.

 

3rd - the youth coming through now a bit tannic and i need to put this down with an inch and a half to go. Hour long smoke.

 

Overall - construction issues and youth meant this struggled. Still enjoyable flavours. I have had 2 from this cab already that displayed that cohiba vanilla/honey so fingers crossed for the rest. Might leave these for a year now. Score - 85/86

 

Paired with a macciato (sp?) and a pepperjack barossa valley sparkling shiraz which is very jammy.

Its possible to have too thin a wrapper?

Yes i believe so if it rips easily for example

I’m partial to wines like that but I have to say it’s got to be a bit of a tough pairing. Lots of jam and tannin could be part of the youth you were experiencing. Just a thought. In the end, I’m a firm believer that you smoke and drink what you want!
