Expresso - Frickin' 81
Sat outside to enjoy a 2005 Limitada after todays rainstorm.
I stocked up on the 2005's and 2006's because of the great reviews I have read on them. After some of the deals on cBid, these came out to just about $3/stick. Nicely contructed, they have been resting for about 2 weeks in my humidor.
1/3: A bit of a peppery start, with a heavy leather taste. The first few draws were actually a bit bitter. I wasn't sure I liked the taste at first, but it did grow on me.
2/3: I really enjoyed this part of the smoke. Heavy coffee flavors, subtle cocoa flavor. It was very enjoyable at this point. If the whole stick was like this, I would smoke this all the time.
3/3: Last third was a creamy/buttery taste. At this point, it turned from a medium flavor to a more mild flavor. It was a very mild finish than most sticks I've had. Absolutely no pepper flavor during the finish.
Finish: Barely any aftertaste. I like this a lot because I don't like to taste my cigars too long after I finish. Subtle coffee flavors, but nothing outrageous.
Final thoughts: I like this cigar a lot. It is a good relaxing cigar that could be enjoyed after a small meal or with a light drink. I did have a few burning problems (uneven) that I had to touch up, but it was most likely because my humidor has been running a higher humidity than usual lately.
