HdM Du Prince '15 (DDRW)


Recommended Posts

This cigar comes from a box I got a couple of months before the discontinuation was announced. Just now getting around to them, but I figure the le hoyo line does best around the 5 year mark. One I smoked from this box a month ago was a high 90s cigar, hampered only by some burn problems.

Draw on this sample is one the firm side of acceptable, but at this ring gauge it works. The cold draw has a lot of that sweet barnyard. This is lively even before it it lit.

This du prince opens with the wood and sweet cream that I would call typical for the line, along with that sour twang that makes a cuban cigar cuban. It is balanced and smooth. Its not as complex as previous examples from the box, nor the des dieux.

This is a great box, but the ones I have liked best were smoked in the morning with coffee. This one is a 89, the best of this box was maybe a 92. I feel good about the 20 or so left in this box, and disappointed it will likely be my last box.
