Diplomaticos No.2 LGR AGO 19 (MMRW)

[FireMedic]

Was waiting for this to reach 90+ days of acclimating so I could give 1 a shot, to see where they stood.  That time has passed and now time to fire 1 up. Love the LGR code of late, let's go.

Construction spot on, beautiful feel to this stick. Rich dark wrapper. 

Cold draw is tobacco and leather. Draw is a little tight but not bad. 

As I get into the first third I keep getting this overwhelming feeling that what I'm tasting is similar to mint. Maybe it's mint or maybe I'm having a stroke? Ash is tight and burn is perfect.

As the 2nd third begins I'm beginning to get some cocoa, and toasted tobacco with I swear to god mint like taste. I took a break from smoking and went and did a Cincinnati stroke scale on myself, and thankfully was negative. Maybe it's just a head injury. Burn and draw are ship shape! Nothing to complain about on this stick.

As we enter the final 3rd mich of the same. I won't mention the mint again because at this point I'm feeling insecure about it. Overall this stick is young but all the potential in the world! It is 100% smokable right now.

Damn decent 89-90/100

That mint that you got might be the floral I got.  Couldn't really nail it down but for me it was floral/licorice.  Looking forward to these in a year+

That may have been what I was getting, it was bothering me trying to figure out what it was. Wasn't bad but just couldn't nail it down
