TX Duo Review - ERDM Demi Tasse SOA MAR 08

[Çnote]

Duo rh% is at 66. Small victories. I'm down to 8g 62% for +/- 60 sticks. Smells like heaven (the only box that smells better is just Nudies & BR hint,hint).

Twang on the 1st puff, settles into a orange zest enriched golden treacle and shifts into cinnamon spice brioche soaked in Grand Marnier. Ashfall and band removal brings leather and classic CC toasted tobacco with lashes of cane sugar. The intensity, the horror. The horror. Close to hiccups.

Getting to the band, dark honey and spice with a trace of mushroom unami. The nub is sweet asphalt and coffee grounds. I try to keep going but there's virtually nothing left.

I hate to dock points for not being enough cigar, but is this tiny thing 94? 

@Capn_Jackson do you have time to smoke this? 🤪🤣😆

@JohnS would you be so kind as to twiddle the photo that doesn't line up. My OCD is fierce today...

Light-up is brimming with nuts, raisin, and coffee. Baking spices. Everything is there right up front. Complexity builds very quickly in this. Not sure how aged it is Cody, but I’d guess ten years or more?

Eggy deserts, treacle or molasses, a nice amber Marnier. Sassafras almost to the point of very herbal root beer. All of this, by the way, in the first few puffs. Delightful little bastard. 

THIS CIGAR MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A GIANT!!! "Fee-fi-fo-fum.” It’s been quite awhile since I’ve touched my LGC MdO 3’s, so this ring gauge is throwing me off a bit. Sips are greatly rewarded.

Second half has lots of bright pecan, more molasses, red fruits, and some nice cheesy funk. Mushroom here and there. Awesome smoke that I thank @Çnote for, very much!

93 from me!

Treacle, Marnier, mushroom. We did smoke the same cigar.

Great guess.
