godpheonix Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 this one looked special...very nicely made with a beautiful aroma. like strong sweet hay\honey. cold draw, nice draw with some cedar sweetness. 1st third Floral and cedar notes. the fruit notes come in the mix soon after. medium bodied at best and burn...impeccable. then i get dry sweet hay\honey notes come in. its rich and very creamy at this point. this stays a bit until it changes to more coffee,cream, honey. at the end of the 1st third, some nice buttery notes. nice! 2n third still medium bodied. notes of caramel start coming in but more like in the background the rest stays pretty much the same with a tad more depth to the flavors. really enjoying this one..taking my time! final third the caramel flavor is now in the front, its a bit darker, but not harsh in anyway. pretty stays like this with some buttery notes added in the mix halfway and right to the end! excellent! this was one of the best of these i've ever had. time 1h15 score 96\100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoking Ninja Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Great review! I still have 5 of these left deep down in my humi. I wonder how would these compare to the Belicosos Extra from 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmelle Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice review. I was hoping someone would review this. I've been so curious to know how they've been smoking lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion they still can get better. maybe 2-3 years more from what i experienced smoking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice. no problem. smoke a few in the coming months and then you can decide, according to your palate, where to go from there. who knows, you may end up smoking all of them in a year!
