I had one of the a month or so ago and was slightly disappointed, it was mild bordering on bland and was slightly worried that I was late to the party and these were past their best, strange how different the experiences between sticks can be!

I have another and with give it another try but I'm not in a particularly hurry to do so, glad you enjoyed your's though

Be interested to know how you get on with your other one, which I'm sure will live up to your expectations.

Funny you should say that as I've just had a Monte No.2 out of a 2013 box which is normally one of my favourite sticks, but this one was terribly under-filled and like drawing through an empty straw.

Thanks Mate and well worth taking the time out to smoke but definitely a stick that needs your full attention[emoji106][emoji2]

A 2010 Regional Edition Cigar in a special release size: Triunfos or Double Robusto, 50 x 160 - 6.3"

A beautiful looking light brown wrapper with a nice sheen, this cigar had a lovely cold aroma of hay & milk chocolate with a perfect draw and good smoke output right from the start. Smoke aroma was pepper spicy with flavour notes of milk & dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee and the most prominent shortbread biscuit flavour I've ever noticed on the retrohale of a cigar which was particularly smooth.

Initial underlying leather notes which were nicely in the background in the first third, faded in the second third of the cigar creating an even smoother smoking experience with the shortbread biscuit continuing on the retrohale complimented by some added white pepper. There were also surprise fleeting notes of fruit (almost apricot) and tea with floral aspects coming in to play.
The final third had only slight bitterness towards the very end by which time the biscuit element had disappeared and was replaced with more coffee & cedar wood flavours.

This was the first of these sticks I had tried and I found it surprisingly complex and very enjoyable with the only negative aspect being that the overall burn quality could have been slightly better, but definitely a cigar I can recommend and in my opinion will improve with age.
Total smoke time:- 2 bottles of Doom Bar (which complimented it very nicely!) or 1 hour 45 minutes[emoji2]
