Fumadoro Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ok guys and gals! I smoked this one and really enjoyed it! I didn't write an extensive review, but below are my tasting notes in order of what I tasted. I put it around 91 points and so far my favorite of the blind cigars, though I have no idea what it is.Woodiness (oak to mesquite) Black drip coffee Slight salty tang Perfect draw and burn Some hints of stewed fruitsBready notes on occasion Muted spicesHerbal notes towards the nub Very complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Geez, I smoked this one 3 weeks ago so I wouldn't be late with my review and guess and sure enough forgot all about it! From memory, a nice medium bodied smoke. Nothing sticks in my mind as far as evolution or strong, predominant flavors but overall a pleasant smoke. I don't believe this is in my regular rotation. I'd give it, whatever it is, a solid 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Anyone have details on the specifics e.g. vitola at least ? I'm doing a blind blind based on the reviews so hope to see at least a couple. Thanks Guys! Where's Brad by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFatHokie Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just fired this one up a smoked it to a nub. Nice dark wrapper with slight veins and a perfect draw. Peppery in the beginning but black coffee, leather, and a woodiness dominated with an underlying sweetness; sometimes cocoa, sometimes honey. Wouldn't mind having a box of these.

I just did a quick comparison to some of my other cigars and it was closest to a Robusto. Now I'm 110% sure of getting it wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommggeorge Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Really screwing with me this one. Also can't tell if I'd call mine Hermoso#4 or Robusto. Comparison with the collection not shining much light on the situation. Fantastic cigar though. Pretty rich and strong but smooth, fruity, honeyed. Quite some vanilla. Black coffee. Really good and would be delighted to have more. No idea on the guess : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumadoro Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Even though I had no idea on this one (and will probably get it wrong), I'm glad that the flavors I got were consistently found by other members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santela Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm pretty certain it's a Hermoso #4. The No.2 was a robusto, and I compared the two when the package arrived, this one is most definitely a Hermoso #4. Just smoked mine today, overall a very smooth and enjoyable cigar, but didn't get much evolution in terms of flavor. I narrowed it down to 2 choices and would be pretty psyched if either one is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbrennan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Finally got this one smoked! Enjoyed it very much! Got a pretty good idea but need to smoke a couple more before 31st. Something quite familiar at cold, some soft, slightly sweet baking spice. No noticeable box press. First light is loaded with flavor, lots of smoke, little stewed fruit and just nice toasted tobacco. Mellowed a bit at midway, long finish, hints of dry toast, hints of cinnamon. Exceptional burn! Finishes very nice, more baking spice, sweet leather on the nose. I'd definitely look for a box if it's not the one I'm thinking it is, 94/100. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
