This cigar is from a November '10 box and I've pretty much found them all good to go right from the off.One of those cigars that I think doesn't necessarily need time to sleep,although it would undoubtedly benefit from that.The construction here was brilliant,it had lovely silky wrapper (which as you'll see made a sudden attempt at unravelling about 1/3 of the way down)! Spot on pre-light draw and the cold aroma promised a sweet and floral smoke.1st thirdFrom the off there was copious,aromatic smoke filling the air.Medium bodied and very viscous with a lovely mouth feel.I almost want to say it was a very creamy smoke,not a typical Boli quality by any means,but it was certainly mild and had a very nice honeyed sweetness to it.A lovely opening.2nd thirdHere's where the spice started to kick in,leaving a white pepper finish and that slight tingle on the lips.There were some really tangible transitions going on now and the pepper seemed to slowly give way to more earthy and floral tones,and still with a subtle but definite creaminess there in the background.Still very smooth and medium full.Final thirdDefinitely became a full bodied smoke during the final third,seemed to be much more complex with a whole array of flavours developing,the only one I was sure I could pinpoint was a dark roasted coffee note.This was a really good smoke.It completely held my interest for the whole hour or so it took to smoke it while browsing the forum.Lots of lovely flavours going on and I really enjoyed the way it developed and kept showing me something new.This is most definitely a cigar that I want to have around all the time,very tasty,very satisfying and usually very dependable.First review on UKCF guys,hope you like it.Cheers everyone SAM_0071.jpgSAM_0072.jpgSAM_0074.jpgSAM_0077.jpgSAM_0080.jpgSAM_0095.jpgSAM_0098.jpgSAM_0102.jpg

^^ Hmmmm........it was set out a lot neater than that,no idea why it's clumped it all together but must be something I didn't do.Sorry about that."The most futile and disastrous day seems well spent when it is reviewed through the blue, fragrant smoke of a Havana cigar."
