17 April 2009

Appearance : Perfect.

Smell : Exotic Wood, Cedar, Thyme.

Pre-Light Draw & Aroma : Light draw, Cedar, wood aromas

Burn : Perfect burn throughout, straight, no re-lighting necessary.

Ash : Light, gray

First Impression & 1/3 : Spices, wood, cedar, cinnamon.
Andreas : a “Christmas Cigar”.
Sweet, peppery, woody aromas. Getting stronger, very pleasant.
Excellent flavour, full of character.
Andreas : Not a typical ERdM, has too much “WHOOM”, too many aromas, untypically missing the “light elegance” of ERdM.

Bernhard : Very happy to call a ERdM 120 Aniv. Humidor from Portmann his own … so we have another 50 sticks to look forward to !

2/3 : Full of aroma, flavour and character, mint, chocolate, very well balanced – divine.
Improved continuity & linear development in a very positive sense.

3/3 : Keeps all the promises made, absolute bliss.
Andreas : “most impressive wood/cedar flavour so far tasted”.

Strength : 3/5

Potential : 15-20 years

Duration : From 20h40 to 22h30 / 1h50′

These cigars were given to me last January in Hong Kong by Mr. Min Ron Nee.
