Just got back from the Cigar Inn event. It was a good time. All the big wigs were there giving out free samples of the new cigar.
Good smoke.
it seemed like a 6x54 maduro
I wont give a review because I am not sure of all the lingo but its worth checking out.

Sorry to have missed you - I left around 3pm, having been there since 11am.

I liked the Reserva alot. Jaime was telling me that the Broadleaf maduro they used on it was 6 years old. To me it tasted very much like the My Father filler, but that may well have been all the smoke in the lounge...

My impressions: A solid, medium-bodied stick giving cinnamon, coffee, dark chocolate, sweet & spicy pepper through a slightly firm draw & slightly uneven burn, but never over-powering. I'd give it a non-blind 89 & a reccomendation to pick some up as they become available: with a 6 yr old wrapper, I suspect there will be limited quantities...
