All I can say about this cigar is -- mmm mmm good. 😛
Had a couple last year, but they were pretty fresh (from early 03). Smoke one of these from a cab that was made in 01, and it was very yummy. Smooth smoke, and flavorful. The good thing about ISOM's is that the tobacco stay strong relatively longer than the NC's, so after a few years of age, the ISOm's usually reach their peak, but many of the NC's will begin to loose the flavors.
I'm very impressed by this cigar -- Caramel, earthy, cocoa dominates the cigar, but there are other subtle flavors such as herbal and fruity tastes. Complex and well-balanced, but still a little bit harsh. Smoke is very smooth, and the cigar never burns hot. Haven't had a nice ISOM in a while, and this is definitely my all-time favorite ISOM (other than the PSD4 and Siglo III).
