Incredible sampler for the price. Every cigar in this set is delicious. I will definitely be purchasing again soon!
TL;DR - worthy of it's "Reserva" name. Hickory core, dark espresso; a meaty, lush journey. Recommended. 👍 7 mos aged ⏳️ My first La Aroma de Cuba of any kind. Pre-light is fragrant aged tobacco. 👌 Light-up easy; Goldilocks draw. Starts as dark espresso and Hickory. 1/3 in, toasted Hickory drives the core. Roasted hazelnut appears now and again. The smoke is lush, likely reminiscent of the wrapper's San Andrés roots. It's now meaty too. Genuinely special: Chef's kiss. 💋 Wow. Meaty Hickory continues in the last 3rd. Something herbal joins as a decent addition. Not distracting. Just when I thought it couldn't get better. The finish is meaty with salted dark chocolate. Come on. Overall this was much better than I expected. Medium strength. I have a box, and I'll be needing more. Pair with a sophisticated red wine 🍷 perhaps?
“El Jefe”
Bigg stick here. Decent pepper and earth on the front third which mellows out to let the earth shine. Not bad
TL;DR - Smooth, medium smoke. Another Ashton & Garcia masterpiece 👍
6 mos aged ⌛️
Prelight mild tobacco spice. Construction superb. Appearance smooth and toothy. Goldilocks draw. Light-up easy. Burn is perfect 👌 Flavors are enigmatic. Nothing typical stands out. Yet, it's outstanding. I tried white wine 🍷 (sauvignon blanc) in the last third, and that's a great pairing. Medium in both flavor and nic.
