OK, this is my first review ever. I'm definitely a noob when it comes to smoking cigars but, I really enjoy it, especially after being on CP. I know this review is probably too long but, I wanted to let everyone know my experience each step of the way. I'm both excited & nervous because this will be the first review of this particular cigar on CP. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I'd be very curious of the findings of my fellow BOTL. I hope your experience was as pleasurable as mine.
Cigar Background
This is a new smoke recently introduced from Prometheus the makers of GOF & Angelenos. It was created by Christian Eiora of Camacho cigars. There is not much out there about this right now, here is a linky for you to read just a little about it.
Linky For Ya
Cloudy in the mid-low 60's as I sit outside.
Nice brown wrapper with a slight oily sheen. Feels firm but, not
heavy in my hands. It does not have that barnyard smell but, a subtle aroma. The initial pre-light inhale was easy and the taste was sweet with a little spice on my lips.
Lighting cigar
Lots of spice and full bodied boldness like a San Christobal Fabuloso.
1st 3rd
Spice at back of throat. Creamy leathery taste with a hint of
Vanilla. Even burn with a gray ash, boldness mellowing out a bit.
2nd 3rd
Creamy with a hint of earthiness and cinnamon. Able to exhale through
nose without much burn. Vanilla flavor is back now with a hint of
Chocolate. Turned into a smooth chocolate taste almost fudge like.
Halfway Point
Still a chocolaty taste with a hint of nut now. A sold grayish
white ash has prevailed with an even burn.
Just Past Halfway
Nutty flavor really comes out now. Starting to get a leathery taste
well into halfway point. Still producing a fair amount of smoke.
Nearing the band level and the leathery taste is gone. Chocolate &
nutty flavor have come back.
Band Level
Enjoying the nutty chocolate flavor with a new hint of spice.
Time To Take The Band Off
Spice at back of throat has returned along with the starting boldness.
Last 3rd
Still creamy with lots of spice now, chocolate & nutty flavors.
Ending
Still nutty now with the return of the leathery taste and the spice is subsiding.
At The Nub
Leathery taste is gone and the nutty flavor stands alone.
All in all this was a creamy smoke with a chocolaty nutty flavor
throughout. IMO it was constructed well and there was an even burn throughout with a firm grayish
white ash.
I found a blurb that says, Sencillo is a Spanish word, pronounced "sen-see-yo," and it means simple. Christian Eiora only used two types of tobacco to make the cigars. After smoking this cigar I believe this to be true. It has a simple nutty chocolaty flavor throughout.
I really enjoyed it and would purchase more. Since my
research has shown these have been aged 1 year, I wonder how it will
age and what it will turn into.
