Two 04 Sticks

[anacostiakat]

Friday night here in our nation's capital and I am listening to some blues accompanied to a nip of bourbon.

Started off with a Don Alejandro. What a beautiful cigar. Construction, flawless wrapper and cap. Punched it and lovely predraw tabac flavors.

Ash held for an inch and a half throughout. Started off with beautiful tabac and a veggieness. Some hints of camphor.

Proceeded to gain a woody and somewhat chocolately flavor.

Gained in flavor and mouth feel between medium and full.

Damn these will be outrageous in another couple of years.

Followed it with a RyJ Hermoso #2 EL. Working well with the bourbon.

Earthy and fruity wrapped in a mild smokey spice flavor. Holding ash at an inch easily.

This is my second box of these and I intend on making these last.

They have skyrocketed in cost. :-(

You got lucky on your 04 VRDAs. Mine are so under filled they take < one hour to smoke. The 02s, however, are heavenly.
