Notes

It was a good smoke. Expecting a little bit more from a Nicaraguan Puro that has a lot of hype behind it and that's been ageing for two years in my humidor but it wasn't unpleasant at all. Very earthy in the first third and creamy and then moving into more woody and then more espresso and cedar in the final third. Worth trying if you get a chance to. I've seen them all over the place in Europe.
