Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills MSA Jul 17 (NRW)

I bought this 10 piece Dress Box 1.5 years ago. The wrapper is Claro-Colorado. The source is not a FOH. This is the fourth attempt. At first I thought I gave little acclimatization. Then decided to that aging goes on favor of. Third cigar smoked half a year ago. Now the cigar is almost 2.5 years old, but I do not believe that additional aging will open good tastes. Let’s begin.

Aroma at cold: cedar and vanilla.

1/3: a powerful acrid dry cedar, as if typed in my mouth cedar sawdust. I try slow Smoking: no hint of creamy taste, all the same cedar. I sit, smoke and miss, looking at the beautiful ashes. My mouth is bloody dry, I drink some water. The cigar is still as hard as a stick. Maybe it dried up in the store? But the bands sit tight and don't move. A lot of smoke, why so much from Short Churchill?

My tongue tingles from the sharpness of the smoke, but it's not pepper, it's more acrid. Acid aftertaste. Broke the ashes -I see two tunnels.

2/3: for good reason I broke the ashes, now still taste of burnt charcoal. Drink water again. I get a small profit from slow Smoking - at least the taste is tolerable. The aggressive smoke calms down a bit and I catch the distant DNA of RyJ. I thought, "great cigar for blind tasting." Then I thought about it and decided that Rob wouldn't make jeer of us like that. All the same powerful sour cedar. I recall another case of concentrated cedar - it was Partagas Series P2.

3/3: no, fire, the cigar falls into the ashtray to die.

Conclusion: I do not understand what is wrong with this cigar. It seems that it is too dry, but it does not want to take humidity. Perhaps stuck remaining put an in humidor together with NC at humidity 72%, proactively will make bondage to not tore off the foot. The rating 2/5 stars (I love CC, which is less than the 2 stars can not deliver)
