While I'd gladly smoke more, it probably isn't something I'd go out of my way to smoke again which is a bit of an odd conclusion based on how the cigar scored for me. As an anniversary cigar for the brand, I think it is a good representation of the core lines and what the brand was built on.
The 5x58 perfectos will each have the custom IGNITE cigar bands and will be officially released by Cigars International on June 15th with details to be announced but CI Mega Store, Hamburg customers can get a sneak peek of these new cigars starting at 6pm on June 5, 2018 as Robert Holt joins the CI staff for an IGNITE some good social.
IGNITE project release #2 will be an exciting new size for the award winning Rose of Sharon. The medium bodied blend that was represented on my top cigar lists of 2017 will now be offered in a special round format.
The La Instructora Perfection Invicto is a fun size that gives the smoker the experience to enjoy all the tobaccos in the blend and see the impact that they have on the cigar with a different ring gauge. If you want to know what quality Dominican Criollo '98 and Dominican Piloto Cubano taste like, this is a cigar that will give you just that.
The flavor profile of the Drew Estate Undercrown Sun Grown Flying Pig was primarily oak and earthiness but had some added cinnamon at the beginning and added some mustiness and char towards the end. This is definitely an enjoyable cigar and has me looking forward to smoking more in this vitola as well as the others.
The Flying Pig vitola has always carried its own following and this one doesn't disappoint. I would have no problem smoking this often and would really love trying it in the morning with some coffee. Go get some.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this twelve year old cigar, but I was a bit surprised that it still carried a profile with distinct flavor.
The mystery of a coffin...not knowing what you'll find inside...the hype of the Liberty line. Let's face it, I was truly looking forward to smoking this one. The 2005 I enjoyed a couple of years ago was pretty darn good.
This is a pretty nice small and quick smoke that I enjoyed. If I could dodge the ashiness in future experiences, the score would bump up some.
Dojo de Luxe has been crafted at the famed Quesada Cigars factory in the Dominican Republic, blended by Master Blender Manuel (Manolo) Quesada in an effort to capture the essence of traditional, balanced, and ultimately refined smoking experiences of Cuba in its heyday.
