2009 Hoyo de Monterey - Hoyo du Prince

[big pete]

I'm new to the world of CC's. This is the third CC I've had and here's my first shot at doing a review:

2009 Hoyo de Monterey - Hoyo du Prince
Drink: A&W root beer
Prelight: Smells of hay and hint of tobacco
1st Third: Tobacco with hints of sweetness, nuts, and I think coffee. There is a bit a spice on the finish.
2nd Third: Flavors are about the same but the sweetness drops off. The coffee is replaced with hints of coco.
Final Third: The nuttiness picks up while the the hints of coco disappear. The bit spice on the finish reappears.
Smoke Time: 1:15
Final Thoughts: Good little medium body smoke. 8.8/10

Never had one... Still a CC virgin, but it looks like a good stick and I thought your review was just right. Can't speak about the flavors but it was direct, descriptive, informative, and not overly "wordy"

Good job on your first review. I have yet to do one but admire those that can. I am not sure my pallet is quite ready...
