La Escepcion Don José ER Italia

I've been trying to get my hands on some but I'm having trouble tracking down a source. Every initial review I've seen of these has been overwhelmingly positive.
Had one the other day with Kyle... we both agree that they are very young and are smoking in the mid-80s right now. Somewhat disappointing, but they could and will evolve as they age. Surprisingly grassy and not as strong as everyone makes them out to be.

Agreed. They reminded me of Cohiba grass and just wasn't impressed at all. I have a few more that I will smoke in 6 months or so.
Thats probably what Ill do, lol. Picked up a fiver of Espy midway through last year that lasted to the end of it. Was already excellent so I burned them down, one of my 3 favorite cc's I had in 2015.
I enjoyed the Don Jose very much. I noticed the Cohiba comparison as well, though it wasn't the youthfull grassiness to me but rather the honey sweetness and cedar. It had some pepper/spice that I've read people interpret as youthfull tobacco and need of aging, but it worked for me. But the character evolved about a third of the way in, with floral and chocolate. No doubt they will age well, but Ill never know unless I buy more or at some point develop patience enough to say no to what is already very enjoyable.
