Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso - SSR

[omgpauljr]

I’ve been chasing a box of Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicosos for some time, so thanks to fellow BOTL @ElJavi76 for the hook up. Box code is TOR DIC 16.

First third starts off with strong cocoa flavors and a spicy kick, especially when retrohaling. Later, I taste more almond flavors, similar to candied almonds roasted with sugar and cinnamon. Strength is medium-bodied during the first third.

On the second third, the cocoa flavors subside, and the nuttiness becomes more pronounced. I also detect a hint of vanilla and cream on the finish. The cigar has become milder, too. I finally ash the cigar near the halfway point.

The final third is more of the same almond, vanilla, and creamy flavors.  Unfortunately, I experience a few tunneling issues, but at least the cigar was never harsh.

Overall, a solid cigar that is worthy of the hype.

Great review Justin... It's one of my personal favs. Right @prodigy Kyle? LoL 

I don't know if you got any citrus from it but I certainly get some orange zest from it. Good to hear you enjoyed it tho. 

Cheers

I was able to secure a box via a trade. Well, it's happening tomorrow or Tuesday. I dont want to say it's your fault, but if I didn't see you purchase what seems like a dozen boxes, I wouldn't have chased them. Sounds like I made the right decision...

Thanks, Javi. The first one I smoked a couple of months ago had some orange zest, but not the one I reviewed. It might have been due to the coffee I was drinking.
