SLR Serie A PLU MAY 11 (TGCRW)

[Diabolicalpherpher]

After my first Serie A from a box pass, I’ve been on the hunt for them and was lucky enough to have the winning bid on the FOH Auction.  The price was comparable to what I had seen on the secondary market so I felt very lucky.  Even more lucky that every single one I’ve smoked has been stellar; construction, burn, and flavor wise.  

Punch cut to find the draw to be my liking with a slight barnyard.

 

1st third: wood, cream, and a floral note at first.  Then after a 3/4 of an inch in, the sweet sweet stone fruit made its appearance.  This was the flavor profile that got me hooked on these treats.

 

 

2nd third: tangy stone fruit and spicy wood on the retrohale.  It was a back and forth with tangy stone fruit, cream, and wood.

 

 

Last 3rd: The stone fruit had disappeared and it was mainly a wood flavor profile but that of an oak cask that had been used to age whiskey.

The construction, burn and flavor development was great. Razor sharp burn and consistent flavors from the previous sticks from the box. 

Enjoyed the ride and will savior every single stick left in the box.  93/94.

Thanks for reviewing this one. What a great example of an aged cigar.   That profile sounds wonderful.

Love these. I was also lucky enough to land a box before the switch over to Bond Roberts. Can't imagine how much they will go for now.
