I walked into 8 to 8 Cigars
today with one question on my mind, “What will be my first cigar of the day”?
Luckily, within minutes that
question would be answered for me. In walked the Dunhill rep toting a brand new
box of never smoked in the Chicago
Matt was kind enough to open
the box and introduce me to this newly released smoke.
I thanked him and waited
until he left before I lit up so as not to have my impression influenced by his
presence.
If you are a fan of Connecticut
Lighting this cigar was
effortless. The match charred the foot very quickly and I was careful not to
burn this beautiful wrapper.
Almost immediately, I picked
up a creamy smooth taste accented by a light taste of cocoa. This was a great
choice for my first cigar. Mild and tasty.
About half way through and
the taste has picked up a little to a medium body with some fuller tones of
chocolate.
At this point you can truly
start to appreciate the Piloto Cubano Vintage filler. The aroma emanating from
this wonderful cigar is a result of the 2003 Vintage tobacco which some people
standing near me have said smells incredible. I concur.
I am really starting to enjoy
this smoke as it is getting its legs under it. Woodsy, spicy, cocoa, truly
delicious.
As this cigar is coming to
the final third, the taste has become a little more intense, not overpowering
just smooth with some added spiciness detected.
This is a wonderful example
of what an aged Piloto Cubano tobacco can mean to a cigars taste.
I am very happy with the way
this cigar smoked and tasted. Dunhill has got a winner with this one. When you
can find one, try it. This is a new release and not available everywhere right
now, so if your lucky enough to try one, you wont be disappointed.
My final thoughts are:
Great Cigar to start the day.
Smooth and Creamy
Lots of Flavors
Excellent Construction
Even burn
This is only my
opinion and your experience with a cigar will be based on when you smoke it,
where you smoke it, what you drink with it or what you have eaten.
Form your own
opinion and I am always available to answer any questions or address any comments.
