This isn't a review, so much as a series of observations, as I smoked this at a B&M last night, and didn't take notes.
I was sitting in a plush leather chair, had a glass of nice rye, and a L'atelier LAT54. I'd never seen it before, but the manager at the shop highly suggested it, so i paid a bit more than I planned on, and hoped for the best.
Now, I was hesitant, at best, because the last pricey, hyped cigar I tried (Liga #9 ) was a let down. It wasn't bad, per se, just sorta...meh....
Anyways, i clipped it, took a cold draw, and got a honeyed, black tea flavor. Upon lighting it, i was smacked with loads of deep, sweet and savory flavors; tea, vanilla, cedar, cinnamon, clove....Wonderful
Unfortunately, I think it was a little overhumidified, and had burn issues throughout. It also got fairly harsh in the last third, again i suspect because of the RH. Nothing a week in my humi wouldn't fix, but it'll be a few weeks before i can consider spending the cash on more!
Anyways, from what I tried, and what i've read, I really want to get my paws on more of these!! I was really blown away! :grin:
