Information:

Binder: Cuba
Filler: Cuba
Origin: Cuba
Factory: Cuba
Box: Sold in 10 count boxes.
Release: 2009
Availability: Limited Edition to 1200 boxes.
Size: 6.1×50, Robusto Extra (Dobles)
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, slight rough feel with small veins.
Construction: Fairly firm and even when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Light cedarwood and natural peanuts.
1st third: Starts with a creamy milk chocolate mousse, unsalted natural peanuts, cedarwood and brioche buns.
2nd third: While retaining previous flavours it’s not adding anything new. All the flavours have mellowed out and are very enjoyable at the point.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm but unstable white-gray-ish ash.
Smoke: Medium light smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a medium light draw.
3rd third: The brioche bready note turns to a shortbread biscuit, otherwise it keeps the same from start to finish.
Duration: 20:35-21:55, 1h 20min.
Conclusion: A light to medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. Overall a enjoyable experience that was enjoyable from start to finish, just wished the construction and the ash held up a bit better.
Result: In my book this is an 90 point cigar.
