Puro Desnudo Queen Corona N5 (FS0125)

[eaglebear29]

 

Initial light up is fresh sourdough 

N5 to me tastes like I’m eating smooth sourdough bread while sipping on a nice mocha with only a dash of cream. 

End of first 3rd transitioning to 2nd: The flavor has become more rich there’s an extra shot of espresso in the mocha with another dabble of creme to go along with the warm fresh homemade sourdough bread. Rich and smooth

End of Second 3rd: Rich and beautifully smooth with the chocolate and creme going back and forth in the mocha with that fresh homemade sourdough bread. Great stuff.

Final 3rd: Amazing cigar. The flavors remained rich intensifying slightly with chocolate/creme/sourdough and the strength really built at the end to where I like it. Medium- medium/full. No rough edges whatsoever. Definitely one of my favorite cigars. The price point just really adds to it making it all the better. Gonna have to get a bundle or 2. 

 It’s been 9 months since my last one driving the boat after a long fishing opener. That one was phenomenal. I couldn’t tell you that it wasn’t a Cuban. It had me puzzled and amazed at the same time. This one is even more delicious and I’ve only tried the N4,N7 and this N5 but this queen corona so far has to be my favorite of the bunch. Let’s see how they stand against the others I brought for the beautiful California weather. 

Nub/pipe-worthy: amazing to smoke on the corn crutch then straight into the pipe. You can really see where the ammonia is at in nub stage and sometimes there’s a hint going into the pipe. None here. Amazing.

I love it and give it a score of 93/100 would be 94 if not for the 4 relights and 2 cracks. Pretty great cigar. Again one of my favorites and I’m guessing I could see these being around 94-96 with how they’ve been going. Can’t wait to see how they age. 

 

Smoking time as I go very slow is: 2hr 13min

RH/ temp 62-65% 60-65f with the occasional 70swing here in Cali

Thanks guys. It definitely is the perfect feel for me in the hand and I’m not a fan of a monster jawbreaker, just perfect.

This is now a favorite. I usually reach for smaller/shorter smokes a majority of the time. Being in this beautiful California weather is allowing me to try the bigger stuff I have. 

This was a truly great cigar.
