El Rey Del Mundo Demi Tasse (WTR)

[Thatsze]

Wrapper has a nice sheen. A couple spots here and there but mostly nice construction. I dry boxed this for a day. I paired it with a cup of milky coffee.

Notes are primarily fruity, toasted tobacco, honey, and a sweet bread in the background. Not much evolution throughout, nor complexity, but that's to be expected with this vitola. Got a little harsh towards the last 3/4 inch, so I stopped. Burn needed touchups, and it went out a couple times.

A solid 8/10. Nice cigar to start the morning with, not much else to say, very standard cigar from this box.

 

Part 2:

Dry boxed the cigar maybe another 6 hours. Poured tap water over. Heavy metallic taste.

It was terrible, I stopped a third in. Giving this a 1/10. 

Now I dont trust my tap water, thanks FOH ?. This is going to require more testing.

Yeah I wish they had a laguito or lonsdale. Great profile, almost between a cohiba and romeo y julieta.

As with a lot of things CC regular production they once did (have both) but sadly discontinued:

I heard so much good about these and picked up two boxes in Havana in Feb 2020. Tried a few and don't see it. Oh well they don't  take up much space so will try one in a few months

Yeah they need some age, I got lucky and got them with 3 years, but they still fall apart towards the last third. They really benefit from dry boxing too.

This cigar needs some age. But I have to say, my 19’s are smoking pretty damn nice right now. Took them almost four months to settle in, as they were crap when first received.
