San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta LGR Nov 17 (PBRW)

This cigars have a wrapper color colorado-claro, because of what have a delicate taste.

The cigar is rolled very tightly, full filling. Draw at cold a medium-hard. The wrapper is thin, matte, delicate and fragile. It has small cracks in the area of the foot, also cover a crack during Smoking, but the evenness of combustion is not affected - binder sheet holds the filling. Wrapper has many small bumps that when burning to explode is inclusions of minerals, which is rich in Cuban soil.

The aroma of cold is very low, white bread loaf and milk caramel.

1/3: The beginning is quite rich: the taste of cedar wood, light milk caramel. Quite a bit of tannin and harsh, but disappear after the warm-up. Ash is tender and crumbles when breaking off. High aroma. Low body. Low strength.

2/3: Evolution is barely noticeable: wood begins to dominate, the taste becomes salty with a tart wood acidity. The opacity is unchanged. The caramel sweetness is gone. Flavor without changes. Towards the end of 2/3 is added to the tingling of the tongue.

3/3: the taste becomes a pleasant Cuban mixture, strenght is medium, medium-high body.

Conclusion: I smoked this cigar on the street, so I decided to take a photo against the background of my wife's flower garden. Hot June broke the 1980 record for my region, so the plants gave flowers and berries earlier than usual. This cigar does not have the Cuban power that many of us love, but I often take it out of the box to get a delicate taste. I think this is a good option for a beginner who does not know how to deal with nicotine - only taste and aroma. Rating 4/5 stars

Nice review as always, thanks. These certainly don’t have a reputation as strong cigars with lots of nicotine, but I have a box (LGR NOV 17, HQ) that hits me pretty hard every time!

Great detailed review. I’ve had 2 from the store in March that had a solid nicotine hit at half time. I had to cross them off the breakfast menu. I do like the flavors but agreed a bit of harshness there. I am going to age the quarter box I acquired recently for this reason.
