El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme LOS DIC 20 (XNYRW4)

[saltbox]

First time trying the Choix Supreme, but have enjoyed the Demi Tasse every time I've had one. About two months of rest on this clearance box, almost a year of box age.

First third: opens with a lovely cedar, fresh bread, and honey sweetness. A touch of almond joins shortly after the initial puffs. This definitely is much lighter than the Demi Tasse. Towards the end, some light citrus zest notes appear.

Middle third: the bread has become a bit more of a cake note, alongside more of the same almond, honey, and citrus.

Last third: more of the same, but unfortunately the last third seems to be mostly underfilled and the cigar turns harsh.

Overall: a pleasant smoke as it stands now, but I expect with some more rest the flavors will improve in strength, and I'm intrigued by how the flavors will evolve with age. 86/100 with the underfilling in the last third, maybe an 87-88 if it wasn't for that.
