Origin: Cuba
Format: Hermosos #4
Size: 48 x 127
Box Code/Date: LSM ABR08
Initial impressions: Very rustic in appearance. Not sure if this due to its age, be design or from heavy handed customers. No construction flaws, but a small wrapper split at the foot which was definitely from a heavy handed customer. Draw at cold was firm but good. Aroma at cold is very understated, hints of coffee bean, earth and a slight nuttiness.
Opening: Almost white ash. Touch of cream and spice, but only a touch. Earthy and nutty. Perfect draw.
First third: Even burn. Nice volume of smoke. Flavors are coffee bean, nuts and a slight creaminess.
Second third: Creaminess and nuttiness getting a bit more forward on the palate. Very creamy mouth feel. Burn is staying even.
Final third: Creamy and nutty flavors are strong now, but in a good way. Not like peanut butter, but a definite creamy nutty flavor on the palate.
Conclusion: This has been a very enjoyable smoke. We are down to our last few sticks from this 2008 box. I might decide to keep these all for me.
