RUM ABR 18 JL2. Starting to understand the love for these. Solid after a few that were clearly too young

Nudies N3 Carlota

If you aren't familiar with the Nudies releases on our FoH forum, I can tell you that they are a 2019 collaboration between El Pres and master Cuban roller, Hamlet Paredes using Non-Cuban leaf. Specifically, the filler is made up of Nicaraguan quality aged seco and volado, there is no ligero which means no strong pepper and less 'kick'. The Nudies N1 Lancero was designed to replicate the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.1, the Nudies N3 Carlota was designed to replicate the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3. Both Partagas cigars were discontinued in 2010.

The Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3 was 35 ring gauge by 143 mm (or 5⅝ inches) in length. The N3 Carlota is slighter bigger and longer, 38 ring by 152 mm (or 6 inches) in length. The reason for this was the difference in blend and taste once it got down past the 38 ring gauge mark in testing. Hence why the N3 Carlota is slightly bigger than the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3.

In comparison to the N1 Lancero, which is the same ring gauge but 40 mm (or 1.6 inches) longer in length, the N3 Carlota had similar flavours but was much more bold in its leather and more diminished in its sourdough. There was some mild sweet cocoa and Partagas-type spice at times. In summary, this N3 Carlota was even more full-flavoured than the N1 Lancero yet I'd still label it every bit as classy an effort as the N1.

I was fortunate enough to discuss the N3 Carlota with El Pres whereby I noted, in my opinion, that the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No.3 tended to be more 'toasty' or crispy from my memory. He agreed, but they did what they could with the resources they had. By those standards I concurred that El Pres and Hamlet did a fine job. Yes, a fine job indeed!

How was it? I’ve only got one box, but they have all been bland and disappointing, with very little of what I think of as Rafael Gonzalez character.

My first one was more than year ago. Having doubts about this one before I lighted.. Pretty bland like what you experienced.
First third was smooth and mild with some cocoa and hay aroma..
Retrohale was easy..no spice or pepper at all...
Second third..hints of leather, nuts & cocoa.. Strength picked up a lil..
Ending.. Leather & cocoa mostly...could sense it needs more time..for the flavors to stand out.
Overall much better than my first one.
Will be looking forward to the next one in a few months time..

OPG JUL 15 epi No2. Last one from the cab and really enjoying it. It’s been an inconsistent box but when they are on this robusto is very good.

disappointed with my first stick, the latest Canadian release flavor wise beat this 5 year old.

Grabbed a Corona to have a more pleasant

taste for the Evening

I had Leyenda before and it was Monte on steroids in terms of flavour. It has quite full strength and bold body, but it is absolutely one of the most delicate and complex cigars I've ever had! If you can overcome its monsterous 55 RG, I'm sure you'll fall in love with this CC! Feel free to check my Leyenda review on my CC review journal collection (can be seen on my signature)!

Most of them have been very good. The best Monte flavors without any rough edges. But I have had a couple that were more mundane. Overall I think they are worth the price.
