Esencia Ltd. '08 Petit Corona

Before the review, I wanted to give a little background information. This cigar was from my friend Reggie. Way back on CS there was a thread where some experienced smokers would adopt a "noob" and send them some smokes each month. My job was to review them and give my thoughts. Reggie sent me a lot of great cigars and these are the last of the bunch. Thanks again Reggie!

First off, I thought the band was cool, it had BOTL on it and looked nice with the black. The cigar also looked good, dark and solid.

The flavors started off woody and earthy, with some coffee flavors as well. There was some sweetness too in the back. This cigar gave out LOTS of smoke and had a good draw as well. The aroma this cigar gave off was also very enjoyable. Throughout the cigar the earth, coffee, and sweet flavors remained. There was a few harsh puffs now and then but not too bad. The last of the cigar had a very rich coffee flavor and this surprised me, usually cigars taste harsh to me at the end.

Overall I would give this a 9/10. A well constructed and tasty cigar. One of the sweeter cigars I have smoked (minus ACIDs lol). Reggie sent me this cigar in a few different sizes, so I will update on those when I smoke them.
