Uuuggghhh...
This is the first NC I've had in a long while. And I really wanted to like it. I really did. This is the first Viaje I've ever had as well. Construction Construction was superb. Smoking CCs only for so long, I really appreciated this and miss this aspect of good NCs. Draw was also amazingly perfect. I really like that. That's where most of the joy of the smoke ended... First Third Honestly, right after a took my first few puffs, my thought was 'Uh-oh!' The taste was just bitter tobacco and ash. Really. The first third was really all the same. Ugh. Second Third At this point the cigar actually started to develop a bit of decent flavor. Lots of good, thick smoke. I would say a subtle earthiness, mixed with a strong tobacco taste. If the cigar hadn't of changed to be this decent, I probably would have chucked it here and gave up. Not good, just good enough to not chuck. Last Third At this point the flavor picked up a bit... but not much. Still an ok earthiness, maybe a little cocoa, and still strong tobacco. Conclusion I wanted to like it.... but I just didn't... at all really. Just missed the deep flavor profiles offered by CCs the entire time. I'm sorry, but this is just how I felt... I'm being honest. I think it will be a very long while till I give another NC a chance... I also have some Tatuajes that I may give a shot. But at this point, I'm thinking I may just not bother, with as little as I like this one... ![]() I know a lot of people really like these, I'm just not one of them. To each his own... that's what makes the world go round... ![]() |

Interesting. Earthy is probably one description I wouldn't have used for the Platino, but I haven't smoked one in a while. The word that normally comes to mind when I light one of these is Grassy...but in a refreshing way. Like...it's refreshing to smoke a cigar that's so different than everything else I smoke.
To each their own... |

![]() I figure I will periodically give NCs a try. I have a Tatuaje Cojonu 2006 that I picked up as well... That will probably be the next one that I give a shot to. |
