La Luna Maduro Fuerte
I was rummaging around in one of my coolers and found a couple of these. Corona sized and still in cello. I seem to recall some kind of split I was in during the old JRBB days. So hey, lets fire one of these bad boys up!!!
It really wasn't maduro by my book, just a darker EMS, and a bit streaky. Had a very small pigtail on the cap. The prelight aroma was a faint mild earth. Clipped nicely. The cigar took to flame readily and produced thick volumes of smoke. I'm not good with descriptors, but it had an earthy and sweet tobacco flavor. Smooth, but with what I would call a heavy body, oh I'd say medium-full. I would have thought all these years (15 or more?) would have tempered it but this cigar still had a serious edge to it. The profile stayed the same down to the end with only one burn irregularity that corrected itself. While this was a good cigar it wasn't something I would write home about. If it was handed to me unbanded I would have said it was a decent quality medium-full body smoke, but nothing more. Perhaps my anticipation of this urban legend skewed my perception. I'll bury the other back in the cooler and see what another aging cycle does for it. |
