Talking Mombacho Thermonuclear Serie 2006

Today's review, actually, today's second review..ahem, is of the Mombacho Thermonuclear Triple Ligero Serie 2006. This is not the regular Thermonuclear, this is a limited edition, which was available in only one store, to my knowledge. It is a robusto 5 by 50 I believe and is a Nicaraguan puro triple ligero cigar. Let's get to it, shall we?

Pre-smoke: At first glance you will notice the dark oily wrapper, it is so beautiful. The smoke is very firm. After cutting the draw revealed itself to be just to my liking, with just a little bit of resistance. Ever since I got my cooler stabalized(thanks to you guys responded to my question) almost all my cigars have had perfect draws and have been smoke bombs! I'm expecting this to be one heck of a strong cigar....

1/3: Wow....all I can say is wow...I am so surprised.....no spice!!!! Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing, I am just surprised. This cigar is super smooth boasting flavors of white pepper and sweet woodsiness. After a few puff the spice showed itself and was mild through the nose. This cigar gives of so much F'n smoke it's rediculous, and is how I like it...It is...ahem...a SMOKE BOMB!!!

2/3: This cigar is extremely complex, I am loving it. I did not think I would like it for some reason or another....the second third showed the same flavors and black pepper made its way through leaving a tingly sensation in the back of your throat and through the nose upon retrohale. It was during this time that the cigar flavors became very meaty and chewy leaving almost steak like taste in your mouth on the finish.

3/3: This cigar is still going strong increasing on flavor and strength. Not once have I got bored with this cigar, it just keeps me guessing what's next. Some vanilla bean flavors and a slight nuttiness reared its heard. All the flavors kind of mixed themselves together into one big bunch of goodness to end the cigar, and what a nice ending it was.....!

Final thoughts: Well, you could probably guess it but I am going to say it anyways: I absolutely loved this cigar! I was pleasantly surprised and I will be looking for more. I am definately also going to be seeking out the regular production of these to see how they compare...If they are at all alike I will be needing to save up for a box. I would loved to have seen how these were before they mellowed. I highly recommend this cigar and if the regular is anything like it, I highly recommend it also. They are reasonably priced too, the regular ones. Thanks for reading....and thanks to CA for letting it be read! What should I review next...LFD Ligero, or a Diesel?
