It is really nice out this morning, temperature gauge reading right around 68F, only a slight breeze, a few clouds not letting the sun heat it up too quick. Everything is the most beautiful green you could imagine. Fresh cup of coffee, Tinker (the cat) chillin’ in his (my) chair, and a SLR Lonnie from ’98 cab of 50; yep, a very nice morning indeed!
This is one very well taken care of Lonsdale as it has oils in the dark brown wrapper like it was just freshly rolled. I find the construction excellent with a nice sponginess when squeezed, but not too much, a perfect triple cap on top, and a good weight in the hand. I finally found my Swiss Army punch knife (in the bottom back of my couch), and use the medium sized ring to punch the cap to find an absolutely perfect draw with taste of straightforward mature tobacco.
With the foot toasted, a couple of puffs, smoke flows effortlessly in the spot on draw. I immediately get an incredibly rich flavor in the mild to medium bodied smoke with perfect spice. There’s a mixture of very rich, sweet black coffee and what seems to be floral notes. I’m also tasting hints of herbal, maybe vegetable. Fantastic flavor! The finish is fantastic with a cinnamon/brown sugar taste lingering on the palate.
The burn is sharp with a firmly layered light and dark gray ash forming that I knock off about every three quarter inch. Wrapper, binder, and filler are all smoking in perfect unison to one another as the foot is completely flat when ashed. Smoke is flowing well from the perfect draw, smooth and creamy with simply fantastic flavor. A very rich, medium bodied smoke at the halfway point that seems quite complex.
This is without a doubt the best SLR I’ve smoked to date; simply incredible. I have to give a sincere thanks to my buddy John (Jfields) for sending me this cigar. Thank you sir! I couldn’t imagine having a cab of these as they surely wouldn’t last long.
