Lit up the last in the series a couple days ago and forgot to post the review:
This beauty had a wonderful prelight aroma. I would love to bottle it and use it as an air freshner.
First Third: Got a decent spice blast on the first inch. It calmed down quickly and became quite creamy. Very rich, heavy smoke from this one. There was some leather and cedar. There was also a pronounced but no overpowering sweetness to this. I would compare it to a caramel flavor.
Second Third: The caramel became more pronounced. The leather was also there. This cigar remninded me of a good whiskey. Not flavored at all but having some of the same flavor profile.
Second Third: I was smoking too fast and had to purge. The strength picked up a notch and some of that spice came back. The cigar stayed creamy and sweet througout. A little more cedar at this point.
This was a very enjoyable cigar. Probably more complex than I was able to discern. Once again, I could tell this was well-aged. None of that bite you get with newer Cuban cigars.
I've finally completed my mission and what an enjoyable mission it was! Thanks so much Tyr for the oppourtunity to smoke some cigars I may have never had the chance to try. I feel you spoiled me but I was glad to me spoiled!
