Diplomatico Number 2 TOS JUN 2016 48 And Over Review Weekend

[leepers]

Diplomatico number two TOS 2016. A fine example of the product. Good wrapper consistent coloring, unlit: terrific aroma of Nuts and warm wood. 

 

First light: a light and gentle flavor. Almonds, macadamia. Buttery, nutty flavors. Good smoke production.  Example smoked very evenly for the first third. 

 

Second third: strength picking up. Denser smoke. Buttery nut flavor giving way to something more like smokehouse almonds. Deeper and the strength rounds it out as a real medium now. Hints of brine and gentle bitterness. 

 

Last third: medium continues and gets no stronger. Full smoke production now and most of the nutty flavors are smoky and darker. There’s a longer, lingering taste of bakers cocoa and a slight astringency. 

 

This is a classic for a reason: delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. With more time, it’s a smoke for chocolate cake or after dinner coffee.
