La Aroma de Cuba

Noblesse

5 - One & done. I had high hopes for this cigar but it turned out to be very boring. The one note I got on this was a gram cracker, which was surprising considering is a maduro. As I continue my way through Roma De Cuba, I hope to find one or two that are box worthy but for this one, its definitely not worth it. 1 - End of Days (98 -100) 2 - Buy a box (90 - 97) 3 - Buy a five-packer (74 - 89) 4 - Bargain-buy (55 - 73) 5 - One & done (35 - 54) 6 - Life is too short (15 - 34) 7 - Strait to jail (0 -14)

TL;DR - superb quality, without compelling flavors. Light black tea for most of the smoke. Recommended 👍 Aged 1+ year, dry-boxed 13 hours ⏳️ Pre-light from taste to scent, it's mellow. Nondescript, really. Light-up is easy 👌 Starting core is light toasted oak. Pleasant. Goldilocks construction and draw. Initial impressions: light toasted oak. Superb tobacco, yet not a lot to say about it. About a third of the way in, a little bit of black tea shows up. Light mint on the finish. This turned out to be a linear cigar. Superb quality, though not compelling enough to make the humidor. Burn 🔥 has been okay. Touch ups required. Light flavors and medium nicotine.

The profile on this is absolutely fantastic, bringing buttery and creamy notes of wood with undertone of a chocolate similarity. They draw has just the right amount of resistance, producing a decent amount of smoke with an absolutely perfect burn.

Purchased from Mr. Anthony, himself! Their episode on this cigar is on point! It is everything I imagined from their review. Holt’s Homerun!

First third - smooth with chocolate oil finish. Second third (pic) 30 minutes in, picking up spice, maybe pepper, especially in retrohale. Nice ash. Paired with espresso from pappy coffee beans and milk chocolate pieces.

$330

Lovely. Smooth

So smooth! Silky texture smoke, milk chocolate, vanilla with a light leather and earth note. Not worth $20 plus but a damn good cigar!
