Lost and Found: Le Pigeon

[bostoneo]

Lost and Found: Le Pigeon
Appearance: Perfecto (11/18) Chocolate brown wrapper with minimal veins. Very dense with little give on a squeeze.
Smell: Latte, chocolate. Wafer.
Cold draw: Sweet chocolate with hints of vanilla. Perfect draw.

First Third: Spicy chocolate, salt, light cedar, cream and tobacco sweetness. White pepper 5/10. Very complex and
great flavors!

Second third: White pepper fades in and out at a lower level. Sweet and Salty nutty tastes begin to develop. Cigar
begins to have less going on than the first third complexity wise, still good.

Final third: Salt remains. Pleasant raisin like sweetness and marzipan.


Final notes: Smoked in 1hr 10min. Awesome stick and very pleasing to my palate. Buy again, of course but wish they
were a bit cheaper. The first third was the most complex and tasteful and the rest kind of simmered down into a
enjoyable smoke that was less complex. No harshness at all to the end. Medium bodied. Ash held on in 1.5 inch
pieces.

Nice review! Saw you did several of the other recent L&F releases too, much appreciated. This time around I only grabbed the pigeons, letting them sit for a few days but looking forward to trying one after reading your review. Thx again!

Great review brother! Keep them coming on the new stuff.

great review considering all these sticks are pretty much overpriced old Camachos that were rebranded.

Sound good though.

If they are Libertys(Which clearly the Pepper cream chocolate crush is), they're actually under MSRP.

Thats good to know. I wonder if they are the liberties or seconds of them

I know the Pepper cream chocolate crush is for sure. The others are more difficult to figure out what they are. I'd imagine some will be below MSRP and some above because that's just how things work in mass buying/selling. It's possible that some of these are Liberty cigars that weren't released, others might be different production cigars. The 2008 Liberty would be easy as the 2007 to spot, the ones after are more difficult.

The Liberty series is a numbered, limited run so these are probably overruns. I think Camacho overestimated the demand on Libertys...though from what I recall the 2006/2007/2008 Liberty cigars were quite well thought of from several members of the forums, I bought some purely to bomb. The biggest problem with them was that in the coffin, they'd always have mold.

Is it just me or have the names of the Caldwell Lost and Found sticks begun to start making fun of the people that are buying them?
