San Cristobel Punta

[Ken Gargett]

from a box KMM Nov 03.

Attractive milk choc, creamy coffee, light brown appearance. A hint of oiliness but not too much. Smelt cold, had those milk chocolate and café latte aromas. Had good construction, tight but not too tight. Opened well with spice, cream, milky coffee and vanilla notes. Mild and remained so throughout. Burnt well but perhaps marginally quicker than would ideally like. Did get a touch pluggy near the finish but nothing that couldn’t be worked through.

Highlight was the lovely mild and subtle flavours throughout, though a tiny bitter note right on the finish but not enough to cause concern. Really enjoyed the mildness and flavours but think I prefer the El Morro. 88.

Mine are younger. Not much of the "sweet" taste on these yet.

Still, I like them for a milder smoke. I'll have to pick up a box of the aged ones that you have and give them a try.:-D
