Decided to give this one another try since the first one was so bad, thought it had to be a fluke. This one was also garbage. Tasted terrible and had almost no draw, i quit after the first third and lit up a La Gloria that was so much better.
Paired with Blantons Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
This is the second 10th anniversary from the Pyramid sampler i bought about 5 months ago. Absolutely awful. I think Pyramid sells these cheap for a reason, every single one of these has tasted terrible and burned even worse. Either Pyramid is selling some lemons, or Liga really is that bad now. The only flavor note here is melted action figure.
Connoisseur’s take: this is my first time smoking this cigar and it was great. My only real complaint was the burning issues that didn’t seem to go away. If it wasn’t for that, this cigar would have received a perfect score. I advise everyone to smoke this cigar!
Amazing cigar, extremely well balanced with tons of transitions and nuance.
1st third - Black pepper, spice, bitter chocolate, leather, cedar and hints of cedar.
2nd third - Dark chocolate replaced the bitter, pepper receded some then vanilla and nuttiness joined in.
3rd third - Espresso flavors came in with cocoa replacing the chocolate with leather and spice coming back to the front.
Everything about the cigar is wonderful it's super smooth and bold they're so hard to find but keep looking it's so so worth it! Drew estate made a true winner! About 1.5 hours down to a nub! Straight cut.
