LEP MAY 17

 

First 3rd

Opens with cherry and creamy coffee 

Red pepper on the retro 

Cocoa comes in at the end of the third

 

Second 3rd

The cherry has turned to dried fruit with a bit of caramel, pepper on the edges

About halfway through the cherry returns 

 

Final 3rd

Pepper ramped up, toasted tobacco, and cherries 

Getting rye toast at the end

 

Not the best example I've had, I had one last summer that was magical, hope these aren't past their prime. 

 

3.5/5

There's two aspects as to when a cigar is past its prime...

1. When it has gone past the point of its optimal smoking point according to one's preference and
2. When it has gone bland into the final third and it can't improve in its blend.

Judging by the description you've provided in the last third, this cigar has life in it yet, trust me. Give the box another six to twelve months and you're likely to see another change in the way it smokes.
