Hoyo du Dauphin 2003 (FTRW)

Smoked only last night .What a classic cigar. Absolutely gorgeous, as I was lighting it you knew it was Cuban and about to be something special.

I have never really had the cream notes in to many cigars. This had layers and more layers. The first inch of this cigar was amazing, stunning , some slight very slight honey tonnes thrown in . Draw is perfect.

Second third more of the same , cream honey and now some coffee. Just elegant, the smoke has a lush texture.. keeping these flavours together.

Final third, more of the same but now intensified , just a gorgeous cigar. The flavours linger on the palate. I do wish it was a little longer and a little fatter ring gauge. Still just beautiful , with seventeen years on it...a classic and in my top three cigars smoked this year. Just look at it. !
