\"nfc<\/a>I received this cigar last week.<\/p>\n

Having read both positive and negative opinions about it, I decided to smoke it at yesterday’s pharmacy cigar evening.<\/p>\n

Supposedly these cigars – both the RyJ and the Montecristo A\u00f1ejado line – were rolled in 2008 and then left to age in Havana to be released this year.<\/p>\n

I personally saw the boxes, cigars and master cases in several Havana factories I visited during my last trip – see my post :<\/p>\n

My tasting notes :<\/p>\n

Very nutty, delicate cold draw – nice.<\/p>\n

Very good draw, dry aromas, pleasant, very mild\/light from the start, but could develop into a bigger punch.<\/p>\n

OK from the start but nothing remarkable, let’s keep “nice” as the main characteristic …<\/p>\n

I notice the bands are completely loose, funny for a newly banded cigar …<\/p>\n

No marked progress in first third, remains very mild, no marked flavours to be distinguished, bland, dull. Maybe light cocoa, but very weak.<\/p>\n

Ash very light, ash colour shows some age.<\/p>\n

Still unremarkable in second third, not much improved. Hot air.<\/p>\n

Switched beverages from Budweiser (original Pilsen, not the coloured US piss water ), to a 15 y.o. Glenlivet but it drowns the cigar despite it being a medium bodied Malt.<\/p>\n

No progression or change in last third.<\/p>\n

Conclusion : Not impressed, especially not at \u20ac 18 a pop.<\/p>\n

Smoking time : 1:25 hrs.<\/p>\n
