Pinar Del Rio Reserva Limtada

[dijit]

Perplexing smoke,
Finally got try a Pinar Del Rio Reserva Limitada this morning, I may have ruined my taste buds for later smokes today. This started with a solid tobacco and pepper taste and quickly developed into a strong leather and cocoa/coffee flavor. These were not the mild flavors that had to be concentrated on to notice. These were strong and noticeable early on and remained throughout the experience.
I usually like to divide my thoughts on a new smoke into thirds but this smoke for me did not indicate a clear change at thirds but in halves. These halves exhibited the pepper and leather throughout with the pepper reducing in strength and the leather increasing. I mentioned earlier a cocoa/coffee flavor and for me it was had to decide which it was as the tobacco never really exhibited a sweetness that would have really brought out the cocoa or the reduction of flavors that would allow the coffee to really develop.
As I found myself nearing the end of my drive and my smoke this morning I must admit I was wishing I still had 30 mins or so just to sit and enjoy the flavors.
