Lacked complexity, and maybe that’s a sign of its youth. Have a few more of each size and they’ll be waiting for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Para Ti "Perla" (5 x 40). A Dominican puro originally distributed by Tatuaje cigars (of which I am generally not a fan) that seems to have evaporated from the market. It was/is made by some wine guys and is my gold standard for a "boutique" brand. Love at first puff for me. This specimen is the last of a bunch I bought about 5-6 years ago and has aged into a real world-class cigar; it obviously has/had years of life and potential left inside. Flavors are reminiscent of a Por Larrañaga PC, with a creamy, nutty, very slightly woody explosion of caramel and sorghum, which gives way to leather, earth and an undeniable bent of Dominican oakiness. In the 2nd half of the cigar, this trend continued, though the flavors got much darker. An earthy nature coupled with pepper became more pronounced and careful drawing brought out faint dark cherry notes. The wrapper, unfortunately, was a bit thick, and several touch-ups were required. I wish curiosity had not gotten the better of me. This last soldier should have sat for another 5 years, when I believe the pepper and earthiness would have been reduced further, and the true merit of the tobacco would have shone through even brighter. I may still prefer Havanas, but this cigar proves that other countries, on occasion, are producing artful blends with tobacco that informs a regional terroir without being overbearing or boring. I hope they still make these. I could see buying one or 2 lone boxes to age over time. They would be taking up valuable real estate in my coolerdor, but the payout after some patience would be warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGD Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Another evening with the grill, another Partagas Short. However, I think the Cigar Gods are trying to tell me to change things up, as this cigar has been by far the worst in the box so far - burning very unevenly and very hot. I have smoked through about a half of the box since I returned from Cuba in early March, so far, all but this one have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TabacoLibre Posted June 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2018 Old band Edmundo. Unsure if the age (Spaniards are not the best at keeping records). Hit all the right spots. A bit more bitter than I liked, maybe a whole day dry-box was too much 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post canadianbeaver Posted June 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2018 So rare MrBeaver is here on a Monday night... CB ** and here is what happened. I smoked the Russian RA, and it was wonderful for 2/3 then got so strong, it got almost bitter for me. I drank Innis & Gunn beer so that did not affect it I do not think. It was special and memorable. Matthew smoked the 35th Libano. He is a Cohiba guy. He thought it was really nice but that big a deal? Tough customer! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
