Popular Post Çnote Posted March 30, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 30, 2021 Wow, 2 cigars in a week! This box has been really good, I'm going to bury the rest for a couple years, but this was the 1st robust I saw that I wanted to smoke for review. It's midday, cool but very high % humidity and windy. Between this and the creep up of humidity in storage, if I leave the cigar unattended for more than a minute I'm suffering a relight. The flavors are spot but muted. For me, honey cake and cream with a little spice. Packs a huge wallop of tobacco, this is way young and my humidity is a shade high. Even with careful lighting the burn line is all over the place, thank you somehow wind coming from three directions, you'd think I was about to tee off. With a teeny bit of attention and sipping, this evens out and becomes smooth as silk. Honey becomes burnt spun sugar, almost a creme caramel when paired with my coffee (Bustello in a Moka pot with condensed milk). After a controlled ashfall, this kicks into a gear marked 'Cuban Cigar,' pure twang like orange zest over open flame. This would stand out in an NC lounge for sure. The cake comes back, but more cinnamon spice. OpusX level glue for a CC... Everything coming together, orange caramel, creme cake, pumpkin pie spice. Really fab. I have an msu19 box buried, and need to get more of these for a far flung future. Almost had to xacto the wrapper, maybe you can see the glue damage?? The nub will make you ignore the rest of the world. Imagine Ferraro Rocher tobacco creme and orange duck sauce. This is good. This had alot going against it, but so far best cigar of 2021, could have been best of 2020 looking back at notes. I'll give it a 92 and "will cause a fist fight to ensure another box purchased" If you don't have a 10ct of these aging, that's on you. Get it together. Also, dog! 12

Kaptain Karl Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Honeycake, cream and orange...you nailed the flavors I’ve gotten on my ‘18 Coronas! Great review man! 1
Mrcpt Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I have a box of 54s I got from 24:24 last summer.. I’ve been looking for an excuse to try one (haven’t had any of this marca before). VVRW1 may be just the occasion I was looking for. Thanks for the great review. 1
