Havanaaddict’s 60 RG 2006 (FRCMay25)

[Havanaaddict]

A little background on this 5 ½ x 60 monster. When I was in Cuba in 2002 I had met a guy that had some good contacts in the custom rolled world. So when I got back I worked with him on creating something unique and special to my taste. I went through lot's of samples till I found a blend that I really liked. Back then I liked my cigars strong and very full and big. At that time no one was making really big cigars so I thought let's go crazy and make a 60 RG. So the Havanaaddict 60 RG was born, this cigar when fresh would make you break into a cold sweat at the ½ way point.

Well let's do this!

In your hand it just feels awkward like this is not normal. So I grabbed my cutter and tried to just shave the smallest amout off a the top and as you can guess it drew like a hose (next time use a punch). The pre-draw was cloves, black pepper and wood. Well time too light this monster up, I grabbed one of my triple torches as it would have taken a full tank with my single torch.😂

The first few puffs were lots of wood and pepper. As I settled back for this ride after a few more puffs some more unique flavors came out. I started tasting warm cashews, marzipan and Cocoa. I am hitting the midway point and the flavors and getting richer, molasses, burnt Caramel. Here comes the strength I can feel it in my head but nothing like when they were fresh.

Hitting the last 3rd getting back to the earthy flavors with some espresso and black licorice. It has come to the end I am sad and relieved at the same time.

It was great to see that after 19 years this cigar still holds up and aged well.

Marzipan is an all time flavor for me.
