Lasabar Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Only good smoke I had for the bachelor party weekend. HQ LUB Feb/Mar 2014. Tasted like heaven but had this weird thing where one side didn't burn, the wrapper just turned black and shiny but it flaked off only when touched. Couldn't nub it because of that weird issue, but still good after only 28 days rest from its trip to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just smoked the first of the 08 Diademas I received lately. After reading your take on it Claus, my curiosity got the better of me and I lighted this big cigar expecting three hours of doing something else to keep me awake I must say, I was positively surprised... The cigar was very well constructed, no hard or soft spots, quite a bit of oil and beautiful colorado wrapper. Cold draw reminded me of dried figs with a bit of cedar. I removed the very foot tip, cut the cap quite far but the draw was firm. I wasn't too worried yet... I was pairing with a soft, fruity and lightly sweet white wine. After lighting up with a single torch, the first third was uneventfull. It started with a very firm draw and barely any flavours, bit of cedar and hay, with a very subtle touch of that dried fig skin. It all opened up very gradually towards the second third. Upon the second third, the draw had a nice resistance to it. A sweet accent started jumping in and out, then was quite distinctive and pleasant, with dried figs, soft leather and some light earth, slight cedar aroma. The pairing really did wonders in helping the soft flavours remain to the forefront. The smoke off the foot was quite abundant and enjoyable. I retrohaled often and slight white pepper seemed to join the cedar aroma from time to time. Around the second half, spice flavours and a tingle on the lips and palate started to join in gradually. Through the last third, the cigar was quite flavourfull, with plenty of cinammon and a bit of cayenne, a touch of earth and that nice sweetness jumping in and out of the blend. The wine seemed to bring a bit of citrus as well out of the overall experience. I put the stick to rest when the smoke got a bit hot, around 2h45 min after lighting up. I dunno guys, this was my first experience with the Diademas and I had heard very little positive about it. Maybe it was a dud (albeit a good one ) but I'll see if the other 9 I have left can duplicate this performance in the years to come. Truly a nice surprise Sorry for the picture quality, it was quite dark yesterday on the patio... You should put this onto the main thread and enter the review comp! Thanks for the review!!
