El Presidente Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 One that I have never tried. For those that have, give us your tasting notes, description, impression
HarveyBoulevard Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I have the palate of a Billygoat so I would not be the proper source for tasting notes. However, I have gone through a box and a half and have enjoyed them very much. Some of them have been a little under filled but I have not had any tent pegs. 2 1
Habana Mike Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Smoked some shortly after release. As I recall, and others have voiced, quite rough around the edges. Some questioned whether it was all Cuban tobacco. With a little down time they came around with a sweet and citrus edge, woody and creamy yet still fairly full boded. Imagine a few more years has most likely done them well. While I smoked through the first box some time back I still have a box yet to crack. We'll see how these perform on BR. That'll probably be my decision point to open or move. 3
Cayman17 Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I’ve smoked three from a box purchased in June 2018. First one was all cardboard, total disappointment. The last two have been pleasant. My tasting notes read as follows: “Light chocolate, cream, touch of spice and wood. I give it an 88.” It’s a good cigar but not worth $400 for a box (what I paid). I looked at four boxes and bought the nicest one they had. 4
Piligrim Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 smoked one a week ago, but didn't make any notes. can say that was really good one.
Habana Mike Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Current bid with 3 hours to go barely 10% over cost at release 5 years ago. Guess that says something compared to other offerings, Granted this one didn't get much hype and with a fairly high production for the region. Thinking I'll try one in the morning. 1
dt2 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 I picked up a single when I was in Aruba in Jan '18. I held it about 6 months in my own storage and then smoked in the the summer of 2018. I remember that it had a hint of a floral edge (10%), but I mostly got cardboard (90%). I remember being disappointed, but I'm happy to hear that others have had better experiences! A shame that it's inconsistent. 1
