At the beginning of the first section, I could feel the strong flavor of Nicaraguan tobacco leaves, which was soft but mellow, with a slight floral scent. Although it had been aged in my cabinet for nearly a year, it still had some other odors, but the smoke was not unpleasant. From the middle section, the richness of the cigar increased significantly, but it was still not strong enough. There was an occasional caramel sweetness, which was very comfortable in the middle section and increased the sense of pleasure. At the end, the woody and floral aromas dissipated, the tobacco burning smell increased, the sweetness was almost gone, and at the end, a hint of earth could be smelled. The inhalation experience at the end was slightly reduced, but it was still not difficult to inhale.

Now THIS is a cigar. The Liga Privada No. 9 is a wonderful example of the flavour of Connecticut broadleaf. The wrapper was toothy, oily and thick. It has a wonderful dark chocolate note, alongside espresso, brown sugar and baking spices - it had also picked up an aromatic cedar note from my humidor. Nick Melillo's magnum opus, in my opinion. Multiple, aged tobaccos from 7 different farms - wonderful!

The Aniversario series from Davidoff is my favourite series, that and the Nicaragua. The Special R is the perfect vitola. The 1st 1/3 is just ok, but the next two 3rds were unreal. Perfect burn line and perfect draw. The cigar has a slight marzipan sweetness which built up as I smoked through the last two 3rds. Very long and creamy finish. My favourite shade grown wrapped cigar.

Diplomaticos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Martin
First one of these for me recommended by a seasoned cigar smoker. I agree with many points from the other reviews. An incredibly beautiful wrapper. Amazing construction. Smoked well throughout. Flavour notes are lively, fresh, zesty and a mineral finish. Very easy to smoke. Mild to medium strength and a great day time smoke with it not being too strong.

This is a very good cigar, maybe even a great cigar. The flavours develop a lot as you smoke through the 3rds. The 1st 3rd had flavours of salty earth, leather and nuts. In the second 3rd the strength picked up and on top of the other favour notes a slight roasted coffee note came through. The final 1/3 was very interesting, it had a strong flavour note of mesquite, a slight tone of marzipan and some floral notes. I wasn't expecting this cigar to be as complex as it is, very pleasantly surprised.

What a fantastic smoke. Lovely and creamy with a nice hint of sweetness. My new go to favourite cigar. More than a 3 star smoke.
