hebbe72 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Bought these on 24:24 not long ago. Figured first I would let them sleep for a year or two. But if I dont smoke one now IT will be difficult to say anything about its progression. Paried with a glass of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusivo. Appearance. Dark oily wrapper. If given this blind I would mistake it for a maduro cigar. Perfect construction. Perfect draw. The absence of " barn yard" smell is very non typical for such a young cigar. Was this really rolled less than a year ago? Or did Hananos use aged tobacco for this LE line? 1/3. Tons of cocoa and coffee. Goes perfect with the rum. 2/3. Typical Partagas flavours coming through. Getting better. 3/3. Still holding its own. This is a really good cigar! Conclusion. Very enjoyable. Can feel it has not "settled" yet. Probably due to the young age. But the flavours are there. Rating 92 with a potential of 96 with ageing. 3
LLC Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Having one now. Thought I'd have a second one out of one of my boxes to try to decide if I should get some more boxes. After this one either way I'll probably not revisit these for quite a while.
MrGTO Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Nice review. I've learned so that you don't have to go back and edit your photo, if you take the picture with the home button to your right it always shows up the way it should if your using an iPhone.
JohnS Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I look forward to trying this cigar with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusivo too! Thanks for the review.
DoubleDD Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Just finished one. I agree. Good cigar but needs 3-5 years to blossom.
Scrubber Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I'm looking forward to trying this one. Heard very good things about it. Thanks for the review. Also, looks like you had enjoyed a nice view while enjoying your smoke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
stunod Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I like to buy a box of LE's and a single. I will try the after of settles, to see if it's in my wheelhouse. If I like the single I will usually buy a second box... Or more. Lol If it's not to my liking I will let them sit and try one every 6 months or so.
