This was my 2nd of this Filipino cigar,I bought a trio a little while back on the strength of a positive review and I haven't been at all disappointed.I wasn't sure if I'd just got lucky with the first one so I was keen to see what I got today,turns out the first time was not a fluke.
There's not much on the pre-light draw but then I'm not very good at picking much up from cold anyway.The wrapper is pretty fragile and I learned from the first one that you have to clip it very finely or there's a wrapper that wants to unravel on you.It's not at all aesthetically pleasing actually but there's nothing missing in the taste!
Sweet and creamy flavours in the first 1/3 with a grassy,sweet smoke finish (really nice) At about the halfway point,still a very creamy draw but then there was this huge caramel finish going on! Going into the final 1/3 and it was still that lovely cool and creamy (that word again
) draw and call me insane but the final 1/3 of this stick on both occasions now has been very reminiscent of The Reyes,honest!! Great aroma,great burn and a fantastically sweet finish all the way through,I've still got it lingering now.Smoked right to the finger burning point and never bitter or tarry.
For a light smoke I reckon it it gives The Choix Supreme a run and I would definitely choose it over something like an Exb 4.This really is one fantastic smoke and at around ?7 a throw it's outstanding!! If you can get hold of one or two please do,IMHO you'll be very pleased with it apologies for the rubbish pics but I'm still stuck with my phone just for the time being.
