Popular Post cigaraholic Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 Definitely not one of my favorite boxes of cigars, can’t remember being wowed by a single stick and I’m 2/3 thru the box. I can’t say I got a badly filled box, but every cigar always feels light in my hand. Once in a while you buy a first class ticket and fly with the luggage. With a EL cigar I’m expecting a big rich smoke, this box has given me dry cherries and briarwood. Fortunately the night before I had company for dinner and with dessert I opened up a 03 Graham’s, so I’ll have that and some fresh figs with this stick. Nice colorado maduro wrapper, draw is alright, a little too open for me. Starts off medium bodied with a little cocoa sweetness from the wrapper and a light briery cherry flavor......it’s the light dry 16’s. But the game changer is the Graham’s, goodbye dry woody cherries, hello decadent mouth coating blackberry vanilla cream. Just went from a 87 to a 94 point cigar. Everything missing in the cigar is right in my glass and I get a nice floral flavor from the figs. Lesson learned, I’ll be smoking the rest of this box with great Port. Burn was perfect but 1:15 seems a little quick for a cigar this size. Nice to get out of the luggage compartment and back into first class🍷 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
