Nice review, kinda want to go find one just to try and imagine the Dune spice. Dry desert sweetness has me thinking about when I was traveling through Utah on  2 wheels in the desert at night just after a rain.  The smell from the surroundings was very memorable. When you speak of a lighter option, what compares?  Have you had the 2021 N1 lancero maduro? 

Thanks.  I've only tried the N3 Maduro.  As I recall, that cigar was sweeter and a bit more full-bodied in the second half than this Eiroa.  The Prensado took the light, dry, cinnamon spice route - would be a good pair with an unsweetened cappuccino.  Perhaps the Rosado Nudies would be a better comparison, especially the N1 since in my understanding it's a lighter blend than the N3.  But this Prensado didn't have any of the Nudies/Partagas yeasty red wine/red pepper.

I'm having a tough time coming up with a comparison.  My best guess would be a heavily dry-boxed Monte 1.  Just imagine throwing cinnamon and a little caraway in a pan and toasting it in your kitchen.  Delicate, aromatic spice.

Try one!  I'd be curious to hear what you think.

Sir Winston and a couple of tomahawk steaks. Wife and kids were hungry, so I forgot to take shots of the finished product.

Thank you for your comprehensive response, and yes I think I'll look for a Eiroa The First 20 Years Prensado to compare. 

What I like about the N1 maduros is the fermented tobacco sweetness and milk chocolate creamy cocoa  smoothness.  No pepper, no harsh edges. I think the toasted bread cinnamon spice you speak of would be in my wheelhouse.

I'd probably pick the Fuerte over the del Campo but Placencia is excellent in general in my experience.  I just wish they offered more reasonable size vitolas. This was a 5x52 and almost all their offerings are this size or bigger. Much bigger. 

The only one I haven't been a fan of is the del Fuego. Too much pepper for me.

My first, it was great

Inspired by @X-Man’s epic haul, it was an E2 today. Alas, this had a really problematic burn and continually tunnelled, requiring a lot of re-lighting. Shame, because the leaf is good, and the rest of this MSU 18 box has been excellent. This was the mid-way cigar, number 13 out of 25, so perhaps that is the unlucky reason…
