HDM Le Hoyo des Dieux MER ABR '13 (DDRW)

[leafdream54]

I love it when you light up a cigar that is new to you, and it immediately grabs your full attention – “wow, that’s really different, really interesting and really tasty”

That’s what this cigar was.  I’ve had only one other des Dieux, and it was from this box, although I didn’t let it rest nearly long enough after receiving from FOH auctions, a while back, and was not overly impressed with it.

This one was a different story.

-Opens with exotic woods, cream, clove

Very smooth and effortless to retro.  Getting a flash of marshmallow cream, then clove cream.  Every few puffs, you get a slightly different angle/taste.  Some transitions also into soft leather and cream.

Towards the end, more woody notes come forward.  Excellent aroma.

 

Such an excellent complex and interesting cigar!

94pts.

Lord I miss these.  Couldn't keep my hands off them when they were available.  I'd be fooling myself to think I would still have some if only I had the willpower.  

Good score .

It sickens me that these and many others were axed. The list is way too long!
