What a gorgeous day here in Maryland. My wife went to the gym and is picking up our son, who stayed overnight with her parents. I thought it a good idea to head outside and focus on a nice cigar.
As some of you know, I’ve been tremendously busy with work of late. I went into the cabinet and decided upon a late 80s Cohiba Lancero en cello. This is a simply wonderful cigar. There is nothing quite like the silky smoothness associated with an older Corojo wrapper.
The cello was quite dark with remnants of oils from the cigar. I grabbed my soft flame lighter and off we go…
The first few puffs were of hay and grass with a medium body. There was a touch of mustiness, but this added to the cigar. It told me of the cigar’s age and didn’t detract from the experience whatsoever.
About an inch in, very strong bean flavors started in abundance. I typically smoke too fast, so I intentionally slowed myself down as I looked across the street in front of my house to the rolling corn fields, obviously off-season and cut low. This is a really good cigar.
I smoked one in a puff-pass last year and similar flavors started to circle through my mind. It has a sweetness that I’ve rarely encountered in a cigar. Literally, it’s as close as you’ll get to having a vanilla milkshake while smoking a cigar. The cello really helps to contain all of the “goodness” of cigars. I wish more Cuban cigars were en cello.
At the halfway point, the cigar picks up in strength and flavor. Nasal exhalation becomes difficult at times. It cycles between full to medium-full depending on the how hard I draw. I try to leave the ash on to keep the temperature down as there is an occasional blast of wind.
This is one of the best cigars I’ve had to date. The second half alternates between a smooth, creamy hay flavor to intense bean flavors (vanilla, coffee) with a spicy background. What a day!
