Who better to show you around Cuba than Hemingway? A superb hour and a half in old Havana this morning.
La Aroma E.E. No. 3
La Aroma E.E. No. 3
Started the day off with a Charatan Churchill, quite good burn got uneven near the end and quite mild. Definitely be buying again.
How are those? I remember seeing them in a store once and being pretty impressed by how greasy and toothy the wrapper appeared
Sombremesa Corona Grande. I'd rate it a solid Meh. It was good, just VERY one dimensional and for the price I was expecting more. It had a VERY similar flavor profile to an AJ Fernandez New World, which is far less expensive.
I got two in a sampler. I smoked the first one very early in my cigar journey. I smoked the second one today morning.
I am not good in describing taste, but I will try to compare. I could not tell whether I was smoking a Maduro or a natural wrapper - the wrapper looked natural, but tasted like a well matured Maduro.Yesterday, I smoked a Padron 1926 Maduro yesterday- this was very close to the taste profile, though the Padron was mellower and sublime, while this was a little bit exuberant. I thoroughly enjoyed the cigar, especially the second third. The construction was a bit poor - the burn was uneven and started to canoe a few times, but it fixed itself automatically. I did not have to touch up.I smoke my cigars with a relatively fast cadence - this still lasted 56 minutes.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it, compared it (to some extent) to the Padron, which is a huge compliment, and I would not hesitate to buy it again.

There's something about this that makes me thing of Gordon Gekko. LOL. Looks like you're taking a break from liquidating a company.
I did not know who he is, so I googled him up. Interesting!!! Very interesting!!!
Another lazy afternoon so another double corona in the form of a Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro
