Popular Post SMELTZ Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 Draw: perfection, smoke production is good and the aroma is amazing. Cold Draw: bread, nougat, wood 1st Third: Wood, bread, nougat and floral. Through the nose: citrus, wood and a touch of honey. -Body & Flavor - Mild 2nd Third: woody bread floral flavor to start. Creamy Bakers spice, wood, citrus and an earthy note show up. Through the nose: earth, spice and a touch honey. -Body & Flavor Medium Final 3rd: wow, immediately tastes like a clean and complex JL2 in spades. Much more woody spice & earthy, citrus and creamy honey sweetness. Through the nose: Earth, strong bakers spice, nougat and a slight honey comb sweetness. -Body & Flavor over-medium. Complex & Balanced! Summary: as Hamelt says, ‘I like a cigar to take me on a journey’ and that’s what this cigar did. Started mild, moved to medium and over-medium on the final 3rd. Had to grab a sweet tea on the final inch. This is my fifth JL ES and every one has tasted like this and took me on a satisfying journey. Construction was near perfect and ashed a total of three times and was never hot. 1 hour and 21 minutes to the nub. Rating: 95 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I've enjoyed every one of these I've had. They can vary but they're always between 92-94 for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 92-95 between the five from this box. This one was special. I hope to see your review soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvega Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 These are really good. So much Graham cracker and nougat. Super creamy too! It's a little woodsy but really tasty for a young cigar. 1st one from a fiver. It's really mild/mediumish throughout the entire cigar which I love! Probably one of the better offering I've tried in the last 3 years from HSA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
