10 years ago we built our deck. It was a great deck with beautiful Western Red Cedar. Unfortunately for us, carpenter ants also thought the deck with beautiful and in the past year, have destroyed a good portion of it. Our pristine, beautiful cedar deck was slowly being eaten! This past weekend we tore up a good portion of the deck and settled on going the safe route with pressure treated lumber.
In the great state of Michigan, the weather has been outstanding the past couple of days- so I took a break from rebuilding to enjoy a cigar that is quite new to my arsenal. A few weeks back 688sonarmen sent me a mega-bomb with a curious stick that I new little about- a Lianos Dos Palmas.
The weather was right, so I figured I'd see if this cigar was worth its marbles...
It is a beautiful cigar. Well constructed and the cut was great. The pre-light draw was firmly consistant.
I lit up and sat back to enjoy this new cigar. Boy am I hooked! A supremely smooth draw. The cigar itself is very mild and seemed like a reliable smoke. Wonderful amounts of smoke and an intriguing complex flavor for how mild the cigar was.
The temperature was great, but it started to get windy- so rather than risking the nice ash, I retreated to the garage to continue smoking the LDP. I was picking up on rolling leather notes and a distinctly classic aroma. I've been experimenting with a lot of different cigars lately and this one fastly established itself as a potential regular.
The ash held firm and long. Like all great cigars, this one got preferential "nub treatment".
