Ramon Allones Small Club Coronas ESL NOV-17 (MPCRW)

[rhodges]

Construction: Top notch! The wrapper was covered in oil and also darker than the pictures show.

Pre-Light: Dark tobacco, barnyard, and sweetness. The draw is spot on.

First Half: Mostly toasted tobacco and chocolate and of course the "cuban twang" which i don't understand because a twang is a noise, but that's another conversation.

Second Half: The toasted tobacco has eased off and the chocolate has remained. A tart dark fruit note has emerged to the foreground and it is wonderful! It's almost like a gastrique made from ripe dark fruit. The cigar did turn bitter a little quicker that i would have liked but i'm sure time will correct this issue.
