RDB Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 From an ETP NOV 15 box. Colour is... claro! Slightly mottled wrapper, construction feels fine, punched to give a relatively easy draw. Tea. The defining flavour of this cigar was tea, like a strongly brewed Darjeeling. Some milky sweetness, and some incense spices float around, but the dry and slightly tannic perfume of black tea kept coming back. A very ‘Indian’ presentation overall. Well under medium body throughout, and not producing huge clouds of smoke, this was full of flavour nonetheless. I didn’t get any big transitions, but it was satisfyingly complex from the start. A thoughtful, sipping cigar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really thought about Darjeeling as a flavour pick for these (as I rarely drink it) but I can see where you're coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
