Chateau Real Cristales Deluxe

Size: 5.2" X 50

What a great smoke. I LOVE mild Connecticut wrap cigars, and this one never disappoints. Mild, but tons of flavor, and quite a wide spectrum of flavors for a mild cigar. I get the typical creamy/buttery flavors that most cigars this style offer, but underneath is cinnamon, coconut and floral. The finish is tangy and lingers on the palate between draws. Burn and draw are perfect.

This is one of those rare mild NCs that actually get better with extended humidor time. Many mild cigars lose their flavor after a while, but my experience with Chateau Real is that they are better after 1 year than they are fresh or even after 1 month.

This is one helluva line of cigars IMO. This size and the 5.5" X 46 Mag 46 are my favorite sizes.

The downside? This size only comes in boxes of 8.
