La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Beso

borndead1 · 11-25-2013, 11:01 PM

Grabbed a few singles to try. These are 5.5" X 48. I love this size range in a cigar. Nice appearance, slight box-press and a great looking dark wrapper.

First few draws...nice spice blast. Like horseradish in the nostrils. I can already tell this cigar is gonna kick my @ss flavor-wise.

About 1" in...still a spice bomb. Toasty/woodsy on the draw, nice liqour like flavor on the finish. Perfect burn and draw.

About 2" in...spice has actually subsided a bit, allowing more depth of flavor to come through. This is still a "strong" cigar. Faint taste of cinnamon through the nose.

About halfway...not much change. Nice smoke. Definitely to be enjoyed after a meal or with a sweet drink.

Toward the end...spice has returned a bit. This cigar ain't no joke. Let 'er die around 1.5".

Final thoughts....I enjoyed this cigar, but not enough to justify the price tag. I'd like to try another one with a few months rest in the humi though.

Nice review, I somewhat like these cigars, but I really have to be in the mood for spice. The price tag keeps me from putting a lot of them in my humidor too.

I really like this cigar. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of spice in my cigars, but this is one of the few that I enjoy.

I've had both the Reserva and the regular, and I prefer the regular, not as much spice and I enjoy the flavor profile better. Nice review

I too prefer the regular. I had both at my B&M in the last month, and the regular had a better, smoother and more "wanting" finish. Overall, I'd smoke either, any time.

Nice review!

Nice review. I've got one of these in the cooler now. After your description of the spice it'll probably wait until I'm in the right mood.

I've had both and really enjoyed the Reserva. Of course, I drink dark aged, rums and it fits well in that context.

I have another waiting in the box too.
