Got this from a friend who got it with the cohiba spectre. Supposed to be a limited release or something, but whatever, let’s smoke it!
dry draw: sweet surprisingly. Cocoa
first third: nope, not sweet. Damn this thing is heavy. It’s aged for sure. I can tell cause I can retrohale without vomiting my tears out my nose to cool it down. Espresso for sure, pepper but it’s controlled, already getting tobacco flavors, wood maybe?
second third: less pepper and more ‘meh flavors.’ Felt like smoking a medium cigar that was punching you in the face with a ‘small person (however the correct term is)’. Less espresso and pepper coming through more but still tolerable while enjoying a little bit of cream, tobacco is gone and wood is there for sure
Final third: legs are getting a little wobbly at this point. Not sure if it’s due to the cigar or the 3 shots of wild turkey and three fingers of Longbranch that I drank to ‘help’ with the flavor but at least in the last third I’m getting some tobacco, minimal cream, pepper, and minimal espresso with it now. Still, overall, this thing has some power without punching you in the jaw....purposefully. More like an accidental punch that you excuse and then feel your jaw as you get up making sure they actually hit you or not.
Final thoughts.
Would not buy. Even if there was a sale. Dunno if this had too much age or what due to the decreased flavors. I do believe, even if more flavors were involved, a stronger version of this would have been warranted at this point. It kept most of its strength of full/Med-full throughout, even though it was stalking me with tha fullness. It’s an experience for sure, but one I’m glad to have under my belt, like going through hazing, at the age of 32....
