(2004 f.x.)
i just had to detail one thing about this outstanding cigar. it's not often you get a flavor that is simply one thing. not resembling, not -ish, not a mixture of this and that. just the essence of a known entity. in this case...
a pear.
perfect construction, perfect draw, starts mellow and strengthens into the deeper and sweeter flavors, balanced by a good amount of sweet toast, but...
the wrapper, before lighting, tasted exactly like a ripe, perfect pear.
completely weird and cool, and i'm sticking to my story. just amazing.
after lighting, it changed into many other things, but man, that pear thing was like a big neon sign, "this will not be an ordinary cigar!"
and it wasn't. and i recommend it. a ton of $, but most worth it. especially paired with an apple-ish drink. i had a belgian beer-apple beer on hand that hit it perfectly. calvados would be great, too (see the "cigar in a bottle" thing... i think lz got one
).
oh, and you may have to lay down on the couch afterwards (carlito means business)...
