[elderboy02]

Date: 9/18/09

Cigar: La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial #5 (5.5 x 52)

Cost: $7.80

Drink: Coke

Appearance: There were no veins showing. The band is very classy. The appearance gets a 9/10

Pre-Light: It has a somewhat sweet taste to it..

Construction: Held a below average ash. The ash was pretty flaky. The draw was perfect. The cigar required a good amount of touchups.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar is very rich has a sweet cocoa taste to it. It also has some spice to it.

Strength: This is a medium-full bodied cigar.

Summary: This cigar pretty good. I might buy these again. Toward the end, it got pretty bitter and burned hot. I loved the richness of this cigar though. I give it a 7/10.

They have changed the blend, went from 11 lines to 5. Pepin is involved in the blend. The new ones look rather tasty.

That is exactly how I felt about these. I tried it 3 times just hoping I got duds the first couple of times. There are better sticks out there for less money.

I liked this smoke. I thought it was a bit different than Pepin's other blends.

I def like these smokes. Not a fan of the Normal La Aroma but the Ed. Especial is def a nice change of pace.
Are they just reblending the reg line or both? Anyone know?

According to the new Holts catalog they reblended and it is out. Looking forward to trying it. Love this one.

I seen that but those are the reg line on the front page. Wondering if they messed w the Ed Especial line as well?

The Especiale is too new. It looks like they reblended the regular all nic. I have to find some.

Chuck whats the chance are man used the same con broadleaf wrapper on the new La aromas that he lets another legend (P**t*) use on some Very Very tasty smokes. Hmmm Look the same to me. If thats the case. Look out!

 

[CWS]

Will have to find out

Smoking this one right now....

Solid smoke, I could consider picking one up again. Nothing out of this world to me, however it does have a nice flavor and the burn is excellent.
