Diplomatico bushido RE: EML JUN 15: diplomatico et alreview 2016

[dicko]

It is beautiful sunny day so ive an opportunity to have this long smoke.

Lightish wrapper. Thin and supple. Great construction. Draw and burn was perfect throughout.

Cold draw is christmas cake spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.

First third has a distinct burnt marshmallow flavour! Haha yes i stole that but it did taste like that.

There is a spiced wood character like sandalwood at the core. Coffee cream but milder blend coffee.

Not much spice in the nose but woody.

Geberally smooth but with some slight rough edges due to youth no doubt.

Builds into a slightly darker flavour in third third. More coffee and some earth.

I forgot to take a photo towards theend but i had 3 or 4 long ashes over an inch for each.

Overall a complex medium bodied cigar with a ton of flavour. Of course these are spenno so i will not buy more than the 5iver i went into a split for but a very good cigar worth the coin if you have it.

I would score it a 94.

My friends. I am buying from a certain SE Asian Retailer a box of Diplomáticos Bushidos. I already have a box I hoy in Japan, but I have been looking for other. 

The retailer sent me pictures of the cigars (close ups) and they seem perfect, the lacquered box is great and also the outside black special cover. Still, I have two issues that I need to double check:

- First the box doesn't have the brown cardboard box that comes with. The provides says Habanos ditched that box in the last few batches and put the green sticker right in the lacquered box (the box from Japan got the sticker in the brown cardboard not directly in the box).

- Second the date is from 2016. The provider says that as it happened with Robusto Supreko, Habanos SA continued to make the Bushidos during 2015 and the beginning 2016. 

Have you had a box or can verify that those two points are true?

 

thanks !

I can verify the second point: lots of TOS 16 Bushidos in the past few months have been seen.

[javonazul]

Yes! It is exactly a TOS 16 Bushido. And the Anilla looks very good, exactly as the ones I already have.

How long do you guys think they should be laid down for? If I remember correctly Ken said that they would be at their peak around 2019....

They're smoking quite well at the moment!

My all time favorite!

Enjoy Mike!

Kelly says it tastes like "fruit of the earth", coffee, very earthy. She likes it....

I get earth, graham cracker, nougat. Toasted woody goodness.

It was like fruitcake with spice when I had one in early 17. 

Wonderfull!
