Popular Post JohnS Posted December 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2020 San Cristóbal de la Habana Torreon 2012 - Especialista en Habanos Exclusivo AME Abr 2013 Do you recall the first release of the Habanos Specialist Exclusive program? You may think that it was the 2013 H.Upmann Connossieur A but it was in fact the San Cristobal de la Habana Torreon announced in 2012 and released the year after. We've since had the 2014 Por Larranaga Picadores, 2016 Punch 48, 2017 H.Upmann Connossieur B, 2018 San Cristobal de la Habana Prado, 2019 Cohiba Novedosos and 2020 Montecristo Herederos join this program but I'd argue that that the initial SCdLH Torreon is the most elusive. The reason is due to the unique packaging. The peculiarity of this jar is that it is shaped like a castle tower. It contains an ashtray which crowns the jar with crenellations shaped-like dips. Every cigar in the San Cristobal de La Habana line-up is named after fortresses of La Habana, and the Torreon (or the Turret in English) is the name of the watchtower of El Morro fortress that watches over the port of La Habana. Each jar contains a humidifier system that keeps the cigar fresh and each jar is numbered. Only 2000 were produced back in 2012, and only for the Habanos Specialist shops and La Casa Del Habanos stores. The Torreon is a 54 ring gauge x 150 mm (or 5⅞ inches) in length Geniales. The first regular production cigar to have these dimension was the 2009 Montecristo Eagle and it was joined by the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan in 2014. The 2017 Habanos Specialist Exclusive H.Upmann Connossieur B also has these dimensions as do nine other Regional Editions in the meantime. One could say that seven-and-a-half years is a long time to rest a San Cristobal cigar. I'd agree when it comes to this marca but that period of time has not diminished the class of this cigar whatsoever. It's a fine smoke. It was acknowledged as such when it was first released and it continues to be at this stage. Initial tastings highlighted its panettone sweet bread texture, floral notes, wood, honey and spice with a medium to medium-full strength. This Torreon had the hallmarks of a San Cristobal cigar with cocoa, coffee and molasses at its core. The texture was more pancake-like. It remained this way for the first half until I picked up some walnut and Earth flavours midway which intensified into the last third. There was no spice here whatsoever. I nubbed this after 115 minutes. At the Torreon's price point I could make an argument that current San Cristobal de la Habana La Fuerza is a better option. Still, I'm very, very glad to have had the opportunity to smoke this wonderful cigar today. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kaptain Karl Posted December 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2020 A super fresh yet sensational CCE to celebrate while watching the storm roll through Northern California in my garage. After smoking some larger RG smokes, this reaffirms my affinity for the skinnies. What a cigar! Only 6 months old and already a 93-95 point cigar. Full of the perfect, bright and rich cohiba flavors. Worth every penny. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
