El Rey del Mundo PC (\'98)

[jgros001]

I was gifted this '98 ERDM PC and decided to give it a try because I have been loving the '03 choixs, so I was excited for this PC.

Construction was top notch, a nice light brown color with non-existent veins. Smooth cut and the pre-light draw was a bit tight. No problems though...once this was lit, it produced clouds of smoke. Burn required a couple of touch ups.

The tobacco power in this cigar is mild, but don't let that fool you, the flavors are outstanding. Wonderful honey flavors are probably the most predominant. A beautiful creamy cigar with some coffee flavors to boot. The ash was a nice dark grey. My only complaint, too short...this was a fast burning cigar, even when trying to smoke slow.

Wouldn't want to smoke this after dinner, but this is right up my alley for the afternoon.

Sure you could smoke this after dinner, just smoke two of them.;-) With summer coming on I might need to look into a few shorter light bodied cigars.

I just split a cab from '98 with a buddy. They are still resting as I've yet to sample, but I am looking forward to 'em.

I'll post a review too once I crack open the box.

Excellent review and a reminder to appreciate the smaller vitola's ;-)

The pc has become one of my most often reach for smokes - never tried this vitola but will have to give it a shot - don't alwayys have time forthe DC and Churchill plus in the winter one does not always have the time to stand in he cold and smoke a big stick Cheers Mike

Very nice review. I enjoy the ERDM PC very much. Currently working on 1/2 a cab from 01. Sound like I can look forward to these getting even better.

I also smoked my first one last week, which was a gift. Similar thoughts as you, but consider it strictly a daytime smoke.

Good review!
