SLR DC AEP MAR 2007 (FreeSep24)

[Ford2112]

This is my second one of the batch, received from @Chibearsv or @Islandboy, due to both being the same code and I didn't separate the sticks.

The aroma at cold, picture a peach left out in the sun in the middle of a horse pen! Divine funk.

The draw is tight but upon lighting I got a lot of smoke . I thought " If this is any indication its the cigar of the month, maybe year!". It didn't disappoint. I got stone fruit, barnyard, old leather bag (like grandma's friend Hazel or Mildred). 

2nd third ramps up. Amazing cigar! Great construction. Lots of barnyard funk. For a cigar that's 17 years old these things have legs. I got a minty type of flavor which surprised me. Herbal maybe. It was fleeting.

Final? Nubbed after 2.5 hours. Great smoke,2nd only to a Punch DC I smoked last month. I must say I wish I had more of these! Maybe someday. Score - 5 stars. Upper realm cigar for me. I could taste it for hours after.

I've noticed this a lot with high end aged CC's. Great review.

Nice review of great cigar. I had same box code and purchased right here from Czar/FoH. As a matter of fact I believe the forum voted it best cigar coming out of Cuba at the time...yet the cabs were shelf sitters and ultimately axed.

Yep top cigars, my 2009s are one of my favorites.
