Diplomaticos #2

[winelover]

Great review. I've always been curious about the dip#2's and I feel more encouraged to try one now.

Thanks for the review. The Dip #2 is a "different" kind of cigar. The flavor is unlike any other. Maybe a bit of an acquired taste, but once you're hooked, nothing else will do. The early '06 are the strongest and most flavorful in many years.

I love a cigar with attitude in that it repeatedly ashes on you at the precise moment you are considering reaching for the ashtray

Dip 2's can be great cigars. Selection is the key. Firm fill with a yellow/red wrapper and a chicken **** mixed with sweet paprika smell at cold

Nicely done.

Do you have the box code? My OEB MAY 06s are great!

Only got a few singles, maybe who ever packed any recent orders could tell us.

I have several year models of this cigar and sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't. Overall I preffer the Upmann and Monte in the #2.

My 2001's are either fantastic or forgettable, no in-between.

I always say that there's no better way to start the day than Chicken **** and Sweet Paprika...

Talking aroma at cold...not flavour

Beautiful light wrapper with fine tooth covering, could see this one blooming if I was more patient.

Pre-light taste and smell of fresh fallen autum leaves.

Buttery smooth with a huge draw & thick smoke, ash falls off every inch or so, keep it close to the ashtray.

Dogfish Head India Brown Ale has a great malty sweetness with just enough hops to cover the alcohol, perfect compliment to this smooth Diplomaticos.

1/2 way in start getting some spice, cinnimon & cedar, wrapper split(I think it got too hot, flavors were so good I wasn't giving it much rest).

Think this is the biggest draw I've ever gotten from a Cuban, ash still falls every inch.

Ashtray - 0

Deck - 3

Finished deliciously, toasted marshmallow, & coffe with cream little bit of cedar. Smooth to the end final score:

Ashtray - 1

Deck - 3

Usually like a more full bodied smoke, but for a mild cigar this one ranks well! Draw was almost too easy and the split was ugly and the ash was everywhere.

Rating 89/100
