H Upmann Connoisseur No,1 USE FEB12- Cigar drink pairing review

[Joker]

Start of the week and some chill out time is already required!!

So reach out for one of my favourite sticks and drink,  HU Conni No1 paired with a Negroni

Nice uniform wrapper and slight resistance in prelight draw

1/3: Initial flavours of roasted peanuts with slight spice, with good volume of smoke. I find the sweet / sour citrus flavour (akin to a Chinotto) of the Negroni goes well with most cigars. Drawing nicely with consistent flavour profile.

2/3: The roasted nuts have come to the fore, with spice subsiding a little.  Smooth medium strength cigar. Not overly complex, a smoke that you lets your mind wonder and chill.

3/3: Nut profile has seemed to have dropped off, and more toasted bread flavours coming through. Overall an enjoyable smoke to relax with for an hour or so. May need another Negroni!

Great review but it's funny that I have never experience any peanuts flavors when I smoke them.  

I stocked up and I have smoked and gone through a few boxes of the 2011 H. Upmann Connie No. 1 and luckily I almost have 5 boxes left of the 2011 vintage. ?
