Dual Review: Reyes Family Cuba Aliados Anniversary Short

Hey gang, we're back reviewing the Cuba Aliados Anniversary Short thanks to Frankie Santos!

Wrapper
Natural / 6 year aged Ecuador Sumatra
Maduro / 3 year aged Corojo
Binder - Ecuador Sumatra
Filler - Brazilian, Dominican, Nicaraguan


Appearance

Lastminute: Nice cap, no major veins on the wrapper, no soft spots, very well made cigar.

Mississippi Rifleman: About the same here. Toothy cigar. Nice wrapper.

Pre-light

LM: Berry flavors, hint of nutmeg, bitterness from the wrapper

MR: cedar, for me, is dominant, nice spice and toastiness

First third

LM: coffee mate creamer flavor. Cedar. hint of wild berry.

MR: sweet creme taste is dominate with the cedar notes and nuts

Second third

LM: Not much of a change. Tight burn and ash.

MR: Same flavors, but it has got more of a toasty flavor and the sweet creme has faded. Good burn and nice ash.

Last Third

LM: No change.

MR: Creaminess is becoming strong again, hints of allspice on the finish

Overall

LM: Like and old friend, it was very consistent and there when you needed it to be with good flavor

MR: Nice, creamy cigars. It didn't change much, but it was a tasty smoke.

SCORE: 89/100
