I’ve really been looking forward to smoking this cigar since it arrived (thank you brother). The wrapper is a dark brown with slight oil, tiny crystals that sparkle in the sunlight, and a couple of prominent veins running the length. It feels a little light in the hand compared to its size, is very firm when squeezed, and with the cap punched I find the draw perfect with taste of straightforward tobacco.

After torching the foot and taking several puffs to get the smoke flowing, I take a long draw to get perfect spice on the tongue and throat with the smoke itself medium in strength. Flavor is very rich right from the start with that red, ripe fruit taste that I absolutely love in the La Riqueza line. The finish lasts long after exhaling.

The burn is sharp with a very compact, dull gray ash that falls on its own about an inch in leaving a flat coal that is black in color. Rich, delicious medium strength smoke is flowing effortlessly through the perfect draw with spice hitting the palate just right. Flavors continue to be incredibly good with that taste of ripe fruit, cocoa, and earth in the lasting finish.

Again, I had been looking forward to this cigar and it absolutely did not disappoint with sharp burn, perfect draw, and incredibly rich flavors that fits my palate to a T. La Riqueza has been my go to smoke for quite some time now, and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Excellent smoke!

Brother this is a good review as always. Thank you. This is also one of my top favorite (say in my top 5) cigars. Perfect review and I am glad it did not disapoint. It never does for me either, in fact about the same time you were smoking yours I was havin one myself. :thumbs:
 
I couldn't agree with you more, Greg. I've loved the La Riqueza line since they were introduced, and I think the DC is my favorite. Great review!
 
Ha! I was in my local B&M yesterday, I had some time to kill and burned that same exact stick too!
Probably about the same time. Great minds....

Nice review as always. I really enjoyed mine too!
 
I've only ever had one La Riqueza, a #5 I believe, and it was fantastic! I really should see if I can get my hands on more of them sometime.
