Macanudo Crystal Cafe...aged 13yrs....
Be easy on me, my 1st review... It has a meaning to it as well...
Lat last night review view my cell phone.... A little history on this cigar... I gave these out 13yrs ago 5-10-97 to all the groomsmen in my wedding. My dad held on to this one, and I had no idea... He passed 2 yrs ago.. When my mom told me about this cigar in the fridge....i put it in my hummi immediately...i let this rest in the hummi for a little over 2 yrs now....no cracks very veiny and smooth at the same time. I started smoking cigars about 15 or so years ago and guess what my go to was...yep..macs.... I am looking forward to this smoke...my taste has changed a ot... This will be by far the oldest cigar I have had to smoke... feel ...smooth & veiny very fragrant...wonder if being in the tubo help slow the cryogenic aging...feels on the dry side.... beverage to go with this a glass of glenfidich 18yr... cut was quick...dry side....pre light draw is effort less.. toasted with my Prometheus dual flame Churchill lighter....man I never toasted a stick this quick b4... 1st third.... very smooth light spice...forgot how good these were...last one I had was about 10yrs ago..burning very smooth and even....lite spice...kinda a good change from all the pepins I smoke.... Good combo with the scotch... 2nd third... lost the ash.... i was worried about it getting hot...not here..., im surprised...its a bit breezy this evening also. Spice has mellowed to a warm wood tone..nice and mellow.... still burning fairly even... starting to turn a little bitter... nutty aroma. am I expecting too much from this... final 3rd..... not at all what I was hoping for. I think this stick is way passed its prime.... I would not want to smoke these regularly.....glad the scotch was close by ... Still this will be a very memorable smoke.... Got a little bit more hit of bitterness...probably due to the lack of oils...but none the less a great smoke for a grand occasion.....thanks dad for setting this aside ...you would have thoroughly enjoyed this...i know i can share the great aroma... All in all...a great cigar to celebrate my 13yr wedding annv... Could not have picked a better one to smoke...all the next years to come will never compare to this one.... The wonderful memories of a new beginning, love of family. Without you dad this would not have been possible.... I am glad I got to enjoy this.... Thank you love ya dad.... 13yr old cigar thanks to my dad... |

Thanks for the review/story!
The Crystal Cafe was the first smoke I ever had and while I don't smoke Macanudos very often, the CC is always going to have fond memories attached to it. |
