kevinfj Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Let me start by saying that I do not enjoy doing reviews....I only enjoy reading them. But this was an unusual, and pleasant, experience for me so I decided to share it. Date: 8/18/12 Time: 13:00-15:00 Weather: Shitty. Rain. Music: Young the Giant Beverage: Pliny the Elder (double IPA, Russian River Brewery), water Cigar: '08 Edmundo Dantes Conde 109 First 1/3: Immediately upon being lit.......Boom! The sweet taste of wine grapes. I know this taste from way back as we used to steal wine grapes from my neighbors grape vines when I was a kid. Well, that's not right!. Must be the weather. Or the strong IPA I am drinking. So I switch to water. But it continues. Wow! What a pleasure-full flavor profile. Second 1/3: More of the same. But now the wine grapes have been dumped into an old leather baseball glove. Cigar Bliss! Last 1/3: And on, and on, and on............. Subjective score alert: 99 Question: Has anyone else tasted wine grapes or anything similar in a smoke? It was so enjoyable....it made my head spin.

CaptainQuintero Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah in the LFDC short robusto I've had specific white grape skin; that almost metallic sweetness. It later developed into white grape juice, really nice when you get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnaube Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That is a straight to the point review. I've never had a Dantes. They seem to be amazing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vcool Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think people often note grape flavours in backwoods... Kidding aside, that sounds like a great cigar. I'll have to track some down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Subjective score alert: 99 What would have tipped it over the top to a perfect 100? What would have tipped it down to a 98? Excellent review. Still have not touched the '07. You're making me shiver in excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
