Got off work a little early today, so decided to fire up a stogie while the weather’s still nice. Picked out an Anejo No. 55 from the most recent release. The very dark, maduro wrapper looked like worn leather. Construction was smooth on one side with one very prominent vein running down the other side. I clipped the head and found the draw a bit loose with a very good tobacco flavor and a hint of cocoa.
I fired up the foot, took a draw, and found the smoke quite mild. Sweet, dark cocoa flavor came through with earth and leather underneath. There wasn’t much spice to be found from the mild smoke, however the flavors were very good. The burn was sharp with a very strong, light gray ash forming. On through the halfway point the smoke continued to be quite mild for my palate, and the flavors were consistent with a very good cocoa with dark earth and a nice toasted bread. There was a very nice finish to this cigar, and at one point I thought of a very dark chocolate cake.
It got a bit hot towards the end but never got bitter in the least. The strength did build just a little, but still not enough there for me. If the strength had been there with some spice, this would have been a fantastic smoke.
