Date Added: Sunday 18 August, 2024 by Mark

I was given one of these cigars when I attended the August tasting evening at Cgars Great Yarmouth. At first draw I found it to be very earthy but upon smoking, it became more and more enjoyable. It was an even burn and stayed lit most of the smoke. It had hints of cocca and gave a bitter sweet taste, a lot like a strong dark chocolate. There was peppery overtones and was a very nice smoke. I had it sitting in the garden on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Because of the sweetness of this cigar, It would work well with a whisky that has been matured in sherry casks such as a Lindores Sherry Release Lowlands Single Malt that that I purchased at the event in Cgars in Great Yarmouth or it would pair perfectly with a vintage port. Maybe a full bodied red wine? At the end of the smoke, it stayed constant and did not get too hot as some cigars do. I started towards the end to get notes of cedar and could detect ripe berries. This is why I feel that it would go with a port or full bodied red. It had three distinct caps and would properly be easy to cut, although, and this might upset the purists, I used a punch cutter and the wrapper stayed intact. all in all, a very pleasant and enjoyable cigar. I am no expert, but this is worth the money.
