LGC Tainos 2002

[Bartolomeo]

-Pre draw was nothing special, maybe some light tobacco if anything

-Blonde looking wrapper with an oil matte texture,

-Vanilla wafer opening along with floral bouquet

-Some chewy sweetness along with woody sensation that coats my tongue immediately, very velvety

-LGC Gloriosos are in my top 5 RE

-Ash is a tight, Grey log that is well defined

-A very refined crème taste is there from the start, very pleasant

-Its amazing how something Light in profile can be so flavorful

-2/3 is more crème/wood flavors along with some choice tobacco

-Slow burning, sensuous smoke oozes out of this Blonde cigar

-Long aftertaste, like Graham Crackers but maybe with not as much sugar

-Taking my time, about 90-120 secs between puffs

-Light tasting toast, orange peel, dark leather, coffee

-Not a golf course smoke to me as I want something fairly strong and don’t want to think too much while hacking away

-Last 1/3 seems the most powerful of the 3, early Medium in profile but not penalizing

-Was a little tentative before I started reading about the Light profile but this cigar was really enjoyable

-I have an 09 and a 01 box coming, the 09 will sit for 5+ years before I open it

-9.1/10

Thanks again for sharing. I had an '07 the other night. Had very similar flavors. Although wasn't as flavorful as the '02.
