Came home this evening and sat out on the porch with a Pryme Limited Edition Gold Series 100R...robusto.
This cigar has a light, tannish wrapper with no veins or noticible seams. Very astetically pleasing. It was rolled firm and solid. The wrapper used on this cigar is a little different. It is Honduran and is called (by the manufacturer) a corona wrapper. They actually take the wrapper leaves from the top of the tobacco plant where the ligero typically comes. Anyway, the prelight nose was mild, mostly of coffee and cedar. The pre-light draw was a little firm.
The cigar lit easily and the draw opened up a bit. It was still a little firm, but each puff led to pleasant mouthfuls of medium-thick smoke. The stillness of the evening was perfect for smoke-rings. The cigar burned cool throughout the smoking experience. This cigar also burned as even as any cigar that I have ever smoked. The ash was very white and firm, staying one for an inch and a half at one point. Very good construction.
The taste of this cigar has always intrigued me a little. Most cigars that I categorize as complex have major shifts throughout the burn. Going from one flavor to the next. The Pryme, however, was a little more subtle, but no less enjoyable. It started a little salty on the light, but that quickly faded to a base of creamy coffee and wood. This primary profile stayed with the taste throughout. As it burned, however, there were undertones of vanilla, nutmeg, toasted nut flavors, and black tea at various points. The overall character never changed, but these flavor "nuggets" danced in and out as I enjoyed the cigar. Very interesting and very good.
I like this cigar. It is only a medium bodied (at best) smoke, but its complexity makes it interesting. Combined with the flawless construction, this is a really nice stick. Overall, I rate this cigar an A-.

I really liked this smoke the saltyness (is that a word) went very well with the coffee and sweet cake I had right before lighting up. Complex is a word I would use for this smoke I'm not very good at reviewing so I won't even try to describe much more than the fact that the construction was excellent and smoked well all the way down to the nub. I don't think that this is a smoke for everybody but it should be given a shot by everybody as for me I will be picking up more of these as soon as budget allows. Thanks again Cigardawg.
) I think I paid about $37.00 for them.
