My first impression of C&D’s Small Batch Release “The Beast” back in 2016 was “This is great, but with some age it’s gonna be better!” So after 2 years of aging, what does the Beast bring to the table? Smooth Smooth Smooth. This tobacco isn’t as spicy as “he”was when first opened, the perique offers more of a Fruit Cake aroma. The dark fired is more pronounced. (Or this could be the perique. Rum Soaked perique has a tendency to taste like dark fired kentucky) The Virginia and cavendish add a slight sweetness. The rum tames and continues to sweeten the tobaccos with notes of molasses and a bit of brown sugar. Overall I’m thinking this guy should’ve been included in the Cellar series. Alrighty, Guys and Gals, What do we need to do so The Beast can have a permanent residence in the portfolio of House Cornell &Diehl? This is truly a wonderful stout smoke for perique lovers.
