Warped La Colmena Amado no. 44 Unknown (49SRW)

[bkdash]

I must admit I am somewhat of a Warped Fanboy haha. Last night I went with a La Colmena no 44 paired with some Rye whiskey. Twist off the pigtail and pickup some cedar and earth on the prelight draw (this cigar has a closed foot so not quite able to comment on draw). 

1/3: Draw is perfect and flavors are exactly what I am expecting out of this cigar. Getting loads of cedar, cream and dried fruit. Light spice through the nose, which compliments the other flavors quite nicely. 

2/3: Flavors don't change much going into the 2/3 and to be honest the flavors don't change very much at all throughout this entire cigar for me. It wasn't a huge problem as the flavors were great. 

3/3: Cedar, cream, dried fruit and spice continue through the final third. Towards the nub the heat kicks up and a flavor or cedar and pepper flush just about everything else out.  This was a good cigar from start to finish.

91/92

I will say, I almost only smoke CCs now, but if i'm not going to smoke a CC, Warped is one of my favorites!  

I appreciate the review on this cigar - it lets me compare your tasting notes to what I feel like i'm getting!  I do agree that it seems like that particular cigar didn't really change much between thirds, but that cream was delicious for me!  This particular cigar is one of the reasons why I bought a nubber and gave me hope that I could find a tasty NC that (to me) was similar to a CC in a reasonable price range (reasonable as in not Siglo price range)!

Have you tried the Maestro del Tiempo 5205 from Warped? It is my favorite cigar from Warped to date, haven’t tried them all but from the few I have tried.

very impressive to read @bkdash !

I am strongly attracted to see NCs reviews , I think It's because of difficulties of getting NCs.

Enjoy the environment that You can smoke CCs and NCs!

I've enjoyed these and had a similar experience.

Even noted the Cubanesque characteristics.

May be time to pull one of the last few out to see how they fared as they've matured.

They’re very tasty. Mine are under a year old I’d be curious to know how they mature as well!

Good smokes.

I had a soft spot for the No.36 when they were still readily available.

I’ve been meaning to get a box of these after being really floored with a Unico Especial I had. Comparable at all?

I haven’t had a Unico Especial in around 6 months. I believe I have a few left..might be time to do a comparison as I can’t recall how the especial was (didn’t take notes at all).
