Popular Post rk1900 Posted June 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2019 A brief explanation on why I don’t have my box codes. Unfortunately for me, my home burned down in a fire and all my boxes burned. Fortunately for me, most of my cigars were stored in another location, especially my “Cuban Experiment.” After reading about how aging benefited cigars, I decided set aside 9 Cuban boxes of various sizes in 1998 to see how they aged. This cigar is from that collection. Pre-Light Here is a medium brown colored cigar with tight and visible seams with a slight sheen to it. It’s a firm packed cigar with a great cedar/cocoa aroma. The pre-light draw has a slight resistance. First Third A smooth earth, cedar/nutty, and ever so light coffee flavor profile. There is also a touch of spice (red pepper) with a long finish. The burn line is a little wavy with a light grey ash. Total time is about 16 mins. Halfway The earthy, woodsy flavors have become more pronounced. A bitter roasted coffee flavor is also present. The spice is virtually nonexistent now. This cigar is basically a medium body cigar with little strength. The burn line got a little wavy and one touch up was necessary. Total time is about 36 mins. Final Third This cigar finishes with a smooth earthy/woodsy/creamy profile. It still carries a long finish, medium body and little strength at the end. Total time 1 hour 7 mins. As all athletes hate to admit, father time is undefeated. When young, this cigar is a full bodied/medium to full strength cigar, but father time has mellowed out this cigar to a medium bodied/low strength cigar. The prominent flavors are more pronounced, the finish is long, but mellow. Even after father time has mellowed out this cigar, I still give this cigar a 92. I look forward to seeing how this cigar will continue to age. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Fi Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Good review. Can’t imagine what it feels like to lose a house like that. If this is for the Robusto weekend review don’t forget to add (PRRRW) to the title or it’ll get overlooked. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
