Has anyone else had the fairly new blend,the Omerta and the 1400?
I love the Omerta,I need to sit down with a pen and paper and do a full noteing session while smokeing for further review thread,I forget alot sometimes.I do remember my thoughts while drifting off while relaxing with a good smoke though.
Anyway,basic notes of the Omerta,
Full bodied
totally unique taste that with some age will do wonders and bring out the sweetness in this.
Will age well
complex with some tastey flavors
strong tastes of toast,cream,coca.and a spice I cannot place...anise or rosemary maybe.....allspice?I'll figure it out after its rested a year.
Strong smoke with full body
great construction very toothy and perfect cap
draw is perfect medium the way I like it with loads of thick smoke,bluish white with a lil puff.
Burn is even on a zebra ash,white,light grey,to black stripes.Blueish white smoke off the ash and moreso than usual while sitting.
They do not come in boxes of 20/25 but I believe a tin of 14 or something like that.
J&R's had a 2 page review on them in there latest catalog.
A must try and a thumbs up for Nat Sherman who desperately needed a stick like this.
The 1400,
Very similar to the above but medium in stregnth and a bold medium flavor profile.A little more vanillay and fruity.Another complex one with great construction,draw,and burn.
Tastes like a great ageing stick,though may make it too smooth if left to sleep like rip van winkle.
Another must try.
Prices are more than usual for nat shermans but imo,worth it and maybe if they stop makeing tins and fancy pakageing we can get a normal priced dress box.
I will send a couple to our favorite reviewers in the very near future for a full detailed review.
edit;
1400's come in a box of 14
Omerta's come in tin of 6....my bad.
