I am a big fan of the Des Dieux, but I had never tried this one. I was never likely to either, proving yet again what a great bunch of guys the Sydney boys are! Now that they are discontinued, I am both very glad and a little sad that I did try it! To repeat what you said when you last reviewed this same cigar John, I am also blown away by this one. Enjoyed in the wee small hours right now with coffee. Glorious combination. Colorado maduro oily wrapper, very firm, seamless. Perfect construction! Aroma at cold of spicy cedar and leather. If only Cuba could do this all the time! Perfect Cuban draw, slightly firm and a little resistive, just the way I like it. Creamy, slightly woody texture. I can taste the classic Le Hoyo DNA in this. Sweet spices, hints of vanilla bean, with a slightly woody sweet cedar spine. Bakers cocoa and sweet baking spices intensifying throughout. Started medium, intensifying to a little over medium towards the end. Full flavoured throughout. Glorious aroma on the smoke. What a magnificent cigar. Easily one of the best petit corona sized CC's I have ever smoked. How could HSA possibly have thought of discontinuing these? Damn I love skinnies! Thank you again so much John for giving me the opportunity to try this now sadly discontinued cigar! Nubbed it! Ian, what an amazing review. Of course it's my pleasure to share, but you've made me do a "180" in my thinking on these. I'm so tempted to reach for one at the bottom of my humidor to see how they are travelling, after all, they've just hit the two-and-a-half year mark!

Thanks - just a foggy, chilly day up on the mountain. She was ugly but was about as tasty as a NC gets - lots of chocolate Raisenetts. The age muted all of the Opus X pepper and jalapeno.

I highly recommend you dig one out and revisit John! Surprised the life out of me that a Le Hoyo could be so good at just 2 1/2 years of age. I can only imagine how good these are going to be at the 5 or even 8 year mark, because it has the legs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 2007 Opus X xXx - one ugly cigar with a pretty band The xxx is a belicoso, so I don't think that is one. It's probably the ugliest opus I've ever seen haha. Hopefully it smoked better than it looked.

Popular Post Lomey Posted January 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 My first D5 from a box I picked up in Cuba. Being a noob and overwhelmed I grabbed the 5 instead of 4, but I'm really enjoying it. The size works perfect tonight in the garage with the heater and 9 inches of snow outside. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cfc1016 Posted January 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 This 2016 PCE is a brick. I think Rob might describe it as ‘capable of bringing down an elephant’. By far the most overfilled one I’ve smoked. Somehow... it’s smoking just fine. I’m honestly bewildered. 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
