Hoyo du Depute 12-98 FR-NISU

4 3/8x38

I just went through about 7 of them from a group buy. The wrapper is a rough and "unfinished" dark brown leaf. The construction is pretty decent. The bunching is good and the pre-light is fairly tight. It opens up a good bit as it is smoked. The burn is fairly even, never requiring a touch up. It burned on the hot side, but I do herf the little guys faster because I want short smokes to be short. LOL...
The taste is decent. A fairly dry tasting smoke which has a decent linger on the palate. I guess I am not a fan of this cigar. Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with it. But it wont be added to my rotation. On an up note, I do not believe these have hit their peak. There is plenty of flavor and strength left. Maybe your cup o' tea, but not mine because they didn't seem to have the twang I look for in Habana's.
Give them a shot if you like the "Le Hoyo" series...

Thanks for the review. I've been almost universally impressed with the various vitolas from '98 I've had. Of course there is always one or two that just don't fill the bill.

I have know exactly what you mean. Even the brands that I don't particularly care for seem to smoke decent.
 
Emo I would be more than glad to dispose of any excess deputes you may have, They are one of my favorites. Addy in profile. :D
 
I actually enjoy a Depute as an afterwork ceegar. I get home, grab a beer, kiss the wife and go out side on the patio and fire up a nice and creamy Deputy. I enjoy the flavors and it's just long enough of a smoke to finish my beer and dinner is usally ready then.... :D :thumbs: :p
Then I'll pick out an after dinner smoke, ie. Anejo 77 Shark. :)
