reigndrop Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Box Code: TEB May 08 This was my first Cuban cigar, and my first review ever, so bear with me. It was one hell of an experience, and needless to say, I am hooked on Cubans. The complexity for such a relatively cheap cigar is astounding. Construction: Perfect, very tiny veins, on an otherwise smooth, yet toothy wrapper. Perfectly applied triple cap. Aroma at cold: Cedery, with a slight hay smell Prelight Draw: Perfect draw, just that slight tug. Flavor was of tobacco, with slight hints of chocolate 1st third: The first few draws were full spicy white pepper, but after that, it settled into a lushest coffee, imagine a fresh pot of brewed coffee, and you'll know what I mean. 2nd third: The coffee slowly transitioned into a rich and decadent milk chocolate, unreal flavors. Final third: Boy did it change, lashings of cream everywhere, with the chocolate and coffee flavors now intertwined. I even hot hints of honey at some point. One hell of a smoke. Medium bodied at most, for me. Seeming as though I tend to only smoke a cigar a week, I am already looking forward to next week. Can't wait to finish this box and am looking forward to my next box purchase. Rating: 90 unblind
mbrody Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Nice first review! Man o man are you in for it. One a week?!? Lets put money on when it will become one a day...
CigarmanTim Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Great review! I love these with a touch of age on them. Should be a regular in everybodies humidor.
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Nice work Reign Report back around march as to how that once a week is going
thurmanmunson Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Well done Reign, that box will be done by the new year.
Buch0 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks for the review mate, you chose a great smoke for your first Cuban. Seeing that you enjoyed this, be sure to try the BBF down the track, they are also a full smoke filled with chocolate/leather and subtle spice.
thechenman Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Loved your first review. Look forward to reading more. I started out once a month back in college...I'm now up to 3 to 5 a week - depending on the weather. That's just on my own. I smoke even more if I'm golfing or have my cigar buddies over.
cgarner Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 nice review. These cigars are now in my wishlist.
Cambridge1 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I have some BRC TEB June 08's that are also very good.
vivalanation734 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Awesome write-up. You've got me in the mood for a tasty BRC!
ksblazer Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Glad to hear the 08's are smoking well. I'm currently enjoying my 07's.
