Back in dec i was discussing the ins and outs of cubans with cat. At the time i was looking to pick up my first box from the dark side. His #1 recomendation was the slr'a. So knowing nothing except word from a brother here i ordered. When the box FINALLY arrived i have to say even my wife was excited to recieve a package covered with stamps and from hong kong lol. Anyways I fired my first that night. A little dry, but to excited to care. I smoked my first ISOM. Since than i have gone through about half the box and find that one of my favorite cigars has had no write up done yet (at least not from me).
Tonight topped it, i started the day with an very inexpensive Drew Estate cigar(unflavored) that i'll be damned if i can remember the name of. But it was not bad.
Later I had my usual Captain and dr.pepper and as i prepared the second drink decided it was time for an slr(yaaa buddy). The first i fired was a pain in the arse plugged and unfixable even.I grabbed another and fired(that was the first plugged one by the way). The taste is one i can recall all the time even when its been a day or two.I notice a definate hint of peanut in this smoke esp. towards the end. And it just gets better and better as i go. To a point even that i wish i had a pair of hemo's from highschool" Hmm wonder what those were for" ? As you continue to smoke this cigar it never gets hot, has plenty of smoke and is smooth and creamy with just enough spice to satisfy. This cigar is superb. When you first fire it is a little spicy and than mellows as you go. But than it starts to heat up again bit by bit as you smoke and the flavor just multiplies over and over the shorter it gets.The finish is always wanting for another puff, and i have found myself steam rolling through on occasion. Please excuse the spelling and stuff i suck what can i say spell checker visits often here.This is by far the best cuban i've had...wait its the only one i've had.Thanks again bill.
