Safe to guess that it won't be your last?
While I'm still smoking this, it's safe to say this is a great cigar. Now I will preface the following by saying to take what you are about to read with a grain of salt. While I can pick up different flavor notes, I find that I have a hard time putting a name to those flavors. The flavors will be familiar, and the name on the tip of my tongue, but it can be tough for my to really put a definitive name to the notes I'm getting.
With that said, I picked up a lot of leather throughout. Like that old leather couch we all would love to own, or your favorite baseball glove. I also got spice and some hint of maybe chocolate early on? As I continued, I picked up some really nice creaminess; reminded me of mascarpone if you are familiar with that. A woody, earthiness was present at time.
I would love to get someone's thoughts on the flavor profile who has a more refined palette than I.
Definitely will not be my last. This will sure makes its way into regular rotation.
Nice. I've yet to toast one, but I have a fiver resting as I type. Looking forward to it. Thanks for your thoughts.
With thanks yet again to PSJC. Toast, a nice creaminess, and a ton of natural tobacco sweetness, which surprised me a lot. Glad I have another of these sleeping.
Totally didn't realize it was Friday (it's been that kinda week), so I'll have to burn a Fuente later.
Nica Rustica at a DE event tonight. Only second one I've had. Has a little over two months rest. Better than I remember.
Someone sent me this a while ago. Haven't smoked an AB in years, this wasn't half bad. Nice construction, good burn and smoke output. Indistinct flavors but still enjoyable.

not sure yet, and I want to burn one of each. here's my quick take:Might I say I hate you with jealousy?? I would love to hear your thoughts.hat to cheat of fuente friday in deference to the new new:
- absolutely more beautiful in person, both sticks and boxes, and the aroma unlit was intoxicating.
- a little dry on the palate, but much less so that a lot of mexSA capas. plenty of flavor and texture, and development throughout the smoke.
- construction was about perfect for something my shop physically had delivered to them today: burn left a couple small fragments of wrapper here and there, mostly 2/3 to final, but self corrected. they will only improve in your stash.
i'm not running out to buy a box, but i am damn glad they are regular production, and i really look forward to smoking the rest i got. that help? o)
