Diplo RE Paises Bajos SGA SEP 15 (CDEFRW)

[CptGoodTimes]

Great timing @Elpresidente, as I just enjoyed this Diplomaticos RE Paises Bajos measuring 5.3x52 and is the 6th cigar I’ve smoked from this box.  Has a rustic Colorado medium reddish brown wrapper.  

Initial impressions: A tightly packed habano with no soft spots. Aroma consists of light barnyard, cedar.  I used my Xikar VX2 to make the solid, consistent V-cut in the cap.  I’m getting some sweetness on the cold draw that includes hay, wood...just the great typical cuban you expect.  

Opening & First Third:  Burn starts out razor sharp.  Aroma is that prototypical Cuban twang.  Flavor brings loads of tea, woody, and creaminess.  That tea flavor stands out and is fantastico. Strength is medium to just under medium.  There are similarities to the RE Asia Pacifico Bushido.  

Second Third & Final Thoughts:  Things remain very consistent. Smooth draw. Smooth burn. Smooth flavor.   More of tea, woody, creaminess. This isn’t a rollercoaster ride. More of a nice cruise on the lake with not a ripple on the water.  This is my second box and just love these.  A fabulous Diplo and definitely my favorite of the marca (Because Bushido, you just too mucho dinero). 

 

Cheers,

These are excellent cigars! Thanks for the review. I had to load up on these.

Right. So consistent too.  I’ve never had a bad one yet out of 20ish.  {Knock on wood}

Yep, I’ve smoked about the same, very consistent cigars. I smoked my first one, and then I had to load up, and then smoke more. I knew after the first one it was special smoke. I truly love this cigar.

Nice review and pictures. I’m even more so inclined to get hold of one to try now
