Nicaraguan 90+ Rated 2nds Robusto
Pairied - KC Reiger Whiskey. This cigar made this whiskey waaay better. On its own neat, this whiskey is just plain bad.
I have been told these are Oliva O Maduros and I grabbed a bundle back in 2012 for less than $2 a stick. These have been resting in my humidor since then and I smoked on yesterday.
Appearance and Construction
There were a few spots on the wrapper, which was probably the reasoning behind pulling it as a second. But that doesn't matter to me. Minimal veins. Still a maduro wrapper, but a little bit lighter than those dark beauties I am used to seeing. This cigar burned perfectly and held a pretty long ash. On the nub, though, it started to burn pretty hot.
Flavor
Draw was perfect, not too loose, but not too firm. Smoke was nice and creamy.
1/3 - There is a milk chocolate sort of flavor. Some butter cream flavor almost and a little bit of spice.
2/3 - some oakiness starts to develop and the spice becomes more prominent with a touch of fruit in the background. Like a plum or an apricot.
3/3 - a whole lot of cream, oakiness and some leather.
This was a great cigar and totally worth it for the money. Will definitely be buying a bundle again
