''My religion prescribed as an absolute sacred ritual smoking cigars and drinking alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and the intervals between them.''
In my little den and MLW joined me with a glass of wine. I started with a Leccia White but abandoned it after five minutes, it smelled nice but it was harsh and peppery and boy did it smoke, bonfires are for Wednesday night. Made up for it by grabbing a HdM Half Corona instead and that was gorgeous. Very astute my wife, 'That looks like half a cigar!'

Not sure about the white but I gather the Leccia Black is getting amazing reviews from the other side of the pond
No.24 in CA's Top 25 for 2013: Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto. This one is said to "hit the palate with a flavorful interplay of cocoa powder and vanilla balanced by cedar and hints of dried fruit, making for a tasty smoking experience."
It really was tasty, right from the off. It was quite complex (for my dull taste buds anyway), but couldn't say for sure it was fruit or vanilla or cocoa! However, there was an underlying pleasant sweetness which continued all the way and maybe more sensitive palates might say that was the dried fruit and vanilla. There was definitely a cocoa taste and the flavour developed very smoothly. An enjoyable cigar worth repeating.

I've had this cigar before and was really impressed with it. I seem to recall coffee and cocoa being the main flavours. I may have even written a review on it on the forums
