HOYO Epi Especial TEM DIC 09 <HDMRW>

[BuzzArd]

Been a while since I pulled from this box.  

 

Honestly, smelled like a wet dog when I opened the box, and at 64%rh too.   But the draw was perfect with moderate resistance.   I wet the wrapper and waited 10 minute to fire it up.  

Immediately got that familar cream and cedar flavor.  Great smoke production.  Razor sharp burn.  Draw opened after the first 1/3d and cream increased.  No real hourney with this cigar.  Just copious smoke and a good helping of cream and cedar with faint white pepper traces through to the end.   Definitely glad I have this little 10ct box onhand.  

Lit the dinner fire at the last 1/3rd and an element of Kingsford entered the mix interspersed with faint mesquite.  Still a great smoke.

Nice review thanks. That rum isn't too bad it's self, would have paired up well no doubt. They are nice bottles

I turn them into oil lamps....    I’m still surching for a 12yo “old style” bottle like this to complete a set    They’ve changed to a new, rounder bottle   ?

Stellar idea. They sure do have a solid base on those to utilise for a stable lamp. Great job ?
