Just lit up a gift from TMCTLT a La Herencia Cubana, Oscuro Fuerte. I must say the first draw was a surprise, kind of a pink candy like...hold on I left my bubble gum in...Seriously I am not good enough at tasting all the nuances yet, but there is a likely hood that this is a full bodied cigar. Seems to be launching flavor at me like a shotgun blast. A bit peppery and a bit refined at the same time. Thanks TMC for the extra goodies, it makes the heart feel good while I sit thousands of miles away from family and friends. As it gets past the first inch, it seems to be leaning toward leather and pepper still. I am waiting for a slap in the face with a stiletto heel. Tons of good smoke and it is calming down a little or the taste buds have been burned out. Looks like it will be an hour smoke, just great to watch the last of the daylight disappear into a quiet darkeness only interrupted by the chirping of crickets, and the drone of Caliveras jumping frogs. I am having it with a cup of Lapsang Souchun tea. it is a smoky Chinese tea that I have enjoyed since I was a kid and it compliments cigars well.
OOh yea this is mellowing out well, hats off TMCTLT for the extra surprises.
This place is dead. We should be filled to capacity, I have a bad feeling about this summer, but it will give me plenty of time to smoke cigars with no crowd to entertain.
