My first Media Luna - for such a young cigar 4 months, these are a cracking smoke Trinidad DNA throughout

I agree Steve. Didn?t like them young but smoking great now. They?ll be stellar in a few years. I should?ve bought more [emoji23]

I've a box and a half not touched any yet. They will sleep I think. Thanks for the opinions!

El Viejo Continente Maduro Lancero from Boutique Cigars. It has a toothy and quite thick wrapper with a neat pigtail cap. It came with a silver grey ribbon around the foot a la Fuente and a nice embossed silver band. Lighting was easy as was the draw. From this cigar I got notes of mild black coffee with no pepper. The flavour didn't change at all but it got smoother in the middle and I was able to smoke it down to the nub with no bitterness or excessive heat. Smoking time was about 50 minutes as it says on the site. It produced lots of smoke that I would describe as slightly tannic and what I suspect Mike Choi describes as 'woody.

It is definitely worth ?7.10 but it wasn't good enough to replace some of the lanceros I already have.
I would definitely smoke another one but I probably won't buy them unless I lose access to my other sources.

Drew estates undercrown flying pig sungrown. Very pleasant stick, quite mild so far, think the Maduro was a more interesting .

The draw was very very tight. I cut the cigar a bit further up and spotted there were some stems in the cigar! So I managed to pull these stems and look what I pulled out of the cigar! Once these were out, the draw was fine and I could proceed to smoke the damn thing. #cubans

these should never have been rolled into the cigar in the first place.

Good work!
