Diplomaticos PCC 30th Anniversary BRM DIC 22 (FFSOct24)

[loose_axle]

Smoking the Diplomaticos PCC 30th Anniversary. A really special treat that I wasn't sure was going to live up to the hype but ending up blasting my socks off. 

1/3 croissant, almond praline, a sour note I couldn't put my finger on, black pepper, red bean paste and vanilla bean. 

 

2/3 some icing sugar, cacao, prunes & dried fruits and some baking spices

 

3/3 still a very rich but dry cigar. Some white chocolate accents of sweetness from time to time, otherwise a chocolate powder and salt, raw cashew and orange citrus ending with the occasional blast of herbs de Provence. 

 

Incredible cigar. I would have to say that this trumps the Behike I had a few years back. Beats the Diplomaticos Bushido. Tops the Cohibas I've had. In my memory this is in my top 5 and I think the best cigar I've had to date in my life. For the following 12hours I've had the flavours of a custard donut linger on from this cigar. It was rich, dry and delicious. Price was outrageous but I recommend you try it if you can find nonetheless. Some experiences, moments and memories transcend money. This was one.

Sweet custard donut in a quality Diplomaticos release? It's quite something else. Great review. Thank you!

My mate accuses me of acute hyperbole in my reviews but I just run everything I've tasted in my life against what I'm smoking. But he also agreed he was smacking his lips for ages after this one.

Thank you for the kind words!

With the amount of glasses on the table I believe you were half cut for this review. Review voided. 😂
