Popular Post ChangBang Posted November 5, 2022 Popular Post Posted November 5, 2022 La Fuerza's are currently the reason I've been checking 24:24 for the past several months, they're the only cigar I really want in my inventory at a price that I can justify! Got this one from the ongoing PIF thread in the US forum from @La_Tigre. This is the oldest one I've smoked so interested to see where they can potentially go after some time down. Paired it with a dalmore cigar malt scotch, which I usually really like with cigars but it kind of interfered with the cigar so just had that one pour and was done with it by the first third. 1 - First thing I noticed is how smooth the smoke is. I can retro all of it with zero discomfort or spice. There is a lot of wood which I haven't really encountered too much in the past Fuerza's I've had in the past. Eventually a sweetness comes in, but not the sweet doughy/pancake maple sweetness that I'm used to. It's more of a tobacco/wood sweetness, which is nice but not as good as the usual flavor profile. 2 - More of the wood sweetness comes through the cigar. Kind of one dimensional without too much change, but it's a nice flavor so I dont mind. No real change in the 2nd part of the cigar 3 - Cigar stayed smooth with a thick smoke. No real touchups to this point but had to relight it once as I got a little distracted. That sweet wood flavor stayed till the end. I did end up breaking out my perfecdraw to nub the cigar, so I def did not mind the same flavor throughout the cigar! Overall - 7 - Awesome cigar! I did miss that pancakey flavor, but still had that sweetness and combined with the smoothness of the smoke...it was hard to put down. Construction was on point with this cigar. Only real knock was that the flavor profile was more sweet wood/tobacco vs the sweet pancakey flavor which is just personal preference. I wonder if the additional age is the reason for this? In the past I don't really remember notes of tobacco or wood, so may have just been the cigar. I think I have 1 Fuerza left so I'm hoping a box comes up soon and I'm green lighted to order it! 10
karp Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 Nice review - these are great smokes. I've noticed the cedary, almost HdM or Punch-like, touches accompanying the pancake/syrup flavour sometimes. 1
Islandboy Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 Nice review! I have a box with the exact same code that I’m working on, I agree that the flavors seem to mellow out with age, and there’s pros and cons at play.
