Mixed up an Old Fashioned and lit up a stick. First one was a Drew Estates La Vieja Habana. First stick I've ever given up on before the first third. Just did not like the flavor it was giving off.

Moved on to a Zombie I had sitting in the humi. Interesting to light with the capped foot. I punched it and lit it from there.

So far so good, lots of pepper on the retrohale which caught me off guard the first time.

'90s AF Don Carlos Robusto and then a La Reloba Sumatra.

Re: What cigar did you smoke today VI?
 

How was the Don Carlos? I had one a few months ago that had about 5 years of age on it and it was absolutely fantastic. Wondering how one that extensively aged held up.

Torano Dominico Torpedo - :tu

Re: What cigar did you smoke today VI?
 

These '97s have '86 tobacco in them and were given to my friend here in Boston. They aren't as straightforward, slightly sweet, nutty, and creamy as the '04-'08 Don Carlos I have, but are leaps more complex. I think what is happening is that the enveloping feel of the Cameroon dies out after some time, and you taste more of the aged Dominican tobacco.

The old variety have a feel of vintage Tainos in them, with weird bouquets of tropical fruit and citrus, but obviously the aftertaste isn't Cuban. It's not luscious or lingering. It is still NC, and has the respective finish, of whichever variety - in this case, the aging and expiring tastes of Cameroon and Dominican. To me, the typical Dominican characteristic is its tobacco bitterness, sweetness masked by leathery, full-on tannins - not to be confused with Nicaraguan metallic sharp - and here it has turned into a blend of tropical fruits and citrus (think Opus X, and how mid '90s ones taste like Ramon Allones on steroids). The Cameroon usually imparts a feel that is warm, rich, and enveloping - nutty, earthy, and creamy. Unfortunately, I think the Cameroon traits have unfortunately devolved to dusty, slightly watery (bell pepper) taste.
