Popular Post Çnote Posted April 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2021 I had opportunity to have an extended time at a divan. As I usually smoke coronas and smaller, but had several hours to fill, I grabbed the biggest in the NC brands I've been waiting longest to try. 1st up, Sobramesa Brulee. Choosing this for a 1st up is a no brainer. Light Golden Connecticut wrapper. It's huge. Unfortunately, this divan and my friend only had straight cuts, this really needed a large punch or a v, we'll get to that later. Easy to light, even with the large diameter, soft and easy from the 1st puffs. This is very pleasant for the next 2 hours, but doesn't go anywhere. Monolithically custard, golden syrup, condensed milk. It's great with the conversation, but it's not a distraction. Incredible value for the time. Unfortunately by the time I got to the last few inches, the open draw had turned the usually most enjoyable part bitter. +1 for keeping a vcut handy in the car. 7/11 I'll gladly get another and would even hide a few of these away to see what 5 years does to them, there's some meat on the bone, but I'd have rather chained out 3 marevas. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrcpt Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’ve had the robusto, not a bad cigar at all. Saka swears he didn’t put a sweet tip on it but there’s definitely some sugar there IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnInCleveland Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 A buddy of mine gave me one. Beautiful construction and as good of a NC as I’d had. I’d buy a box if given the chance and they weren’t overpriced. Which I’m sure they probably are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google away... 12 minutes ago, prshah25 said: Nice review! I just picked a few Brûlée blues. Waiting for them to acclimate! I was looking for those....

I meant if a Girl Scout knocked at my door and offered me a box with my thin mints. I don’t chase NC’s, there’s more than enough Cubans to piss away my life savings on. I don’t turn them down or put my nose up to em, just not my passion. The occasional trade with my NC friend is always fun though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get any of the almonds or coffee or caramel that the Blue backbones on. I'll be looking for a Blue to try, esp as exactly what the concept is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prshah25 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 From what I was told the Blues were a one time production run.. they are not regular production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wine65 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I've had quite a few Brulee Blues and Brulee Toros love them in the AM with coffee. Subtly sweet tipped - without a doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
