A really lovely smoke, with a flavour profile that encompassed the best parts of Bolivar, Ramon Allones and Partagas. Cocoa, nuts, spice... this Famosos seemed to have it all. This one came from a 2015 box so the extra age had rounded off all the edges. Unfortunately this needed a few relights, and had a tendency to tunnel at the midway point - but the rich and bold flavours went some way to making up for the construction issues.
This is a delicious cigar. The example I smoked, with two years of age, exhibited a perfect draw and great burn. It was very creamy on the palate, and exhibited flavours of cedar, nuts and baking spices, particularly clove. The aroma of the thick smoke was enchantingly sweet. I nubbed it.
