I smoked single cigar at the end of 2017 and was not impressed. It was like a piece of cedar veneer in your mouth with black pepper. I also read at the forums that those who tried the cigar in 2016 were very disappointed.
I'm not a hunter for Limitadas, but these cigars are still on sale and their cost is not high. Besides, I was buying an open box and it was a dark wrapper.
Aroma on cold: smoked
1/3: light pleasant fragrant smoke. There is no gastronomic delights, driftwood and a little salt. Sancho Pansa without cream. After warming up there was an interesting game of taste, you thought about how to interpret a new shade, puff again, and a different shade. The taste causes a strong separation of saliva. The cigar has a slow unhurried relaxing Smoking.

2/3: the Cigar did not change the taste, but increased the smokiness. Let's try to update the taste by breaking the ashes. Taste of strengthened, but has changed a bit - added smoked meat . By the middle of the third cigar began to give a lot of smoke.

3/3: each puff is a powerful portion of smoke. The taste is round, wood-smoked, pepper, tannic. Burning is very slow. Ash is strong, obviously the leaves with a high content of minerals. I would say that 3/3 in need of aging.
Conclusion: the cigar has improved a lot with age, but it's still not the peak of taste. Cigar has an unusual game of taste, despite the fact that the main taste is almost unchanged. I still have 9 sticks left, I will smoke every half year and watch the evolution. A score is 4/5 for Limitada, for the regular cigar it would be 5/5.

Good review. It seems these take a long time to become a nice cigar. I had one in 2017 and it was my worst cigar of that year-tannic, ashy, strong and bitter.

Thanks for the update. I'll have to check in on mine and see how they are.
