CRC Viaje Birthday 2016

[Çnote]

I've been very lucky to have smoked this release often over the past decade.

Chocolate manure. Sweet rot. Roasted malt sugar. Bitterness like fine espresso or pure cocoa. Sweet as Campari. Mellow and bracing. This is all dichotomy, whatever harshness presents becomes nuance and high points. Chocolate stout, Guinness foam, maybe some soy sauce. There's no pepper, no herbaciousness, no leather, no 'leaf.' Caramel on the edge of burning. Construction is like a rock, burns cool even on a fast drive. Nub brings in bright flashes of sour cream cheesecake and citrus zest.

Uniquely satisfying, maybe a 92

That's a good cigar. Need to hunt for a few.
