2002 Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona

[Colt45]

I acquired a bundle of singles from cabinet a few years back and don't have exact codes - not a "review" per se.

Core of sweet tobacco with an overlay of sweet cream, scattered raisin / fruit notes. A lightly tannic, woody finish. Just medium in body,

with a creamy texture on the palate. I use the term sweet, but it was not really a "sweet" cigar.

Complex overall, darkening near the end - extremely enjoyable.

A great cigar which I consider a great representation of the marque and what every DC should strive to be. The only downside is that I've only one left

I like these, but I've had too many with bad draws to search for them. Also, as the years have gone by, I find them a bit too mild for my tastes.

How do you think I felt knowing you were one already?!?

Thanks Colt,

These used to be my regular go-to stick, but I havent had one now in ages. I suppose there had to be one or two bad ones over the years but I really cant remember one. At their best, these are just brilliant. Does anyone know what the current crop is like?

nice non-review... I've never had one of these but is on my must try list for when the opportunity presents itself.

When a DC is "on" there are few better cigar experiences. 2 hours of hedonistic pleasure!

The HDM DC have made a good comeback in 07. They do require some time laid down but they will produce the same experience with patience.

I'm still surprised, Ayala must have started drinking early that day?
