Lost and Found: Pepper Cream Chocolate Crush

[bostoneo]

Lost and Found: Pepper Cream Chocolate Crush
Appearance: Barber pole perfecto (11/18). Minimal veins for but there is a soft spot on an otherwise firm Cigar.
Smell: Anise and must
Cold draw: Roasted coffee beans, and a bit of tobacco sweetness

First third: Dark Chocolate and light White pepper right off the bat. TONS of spice on the retrohale. Anise is in the background and oak comes into play. Spice ramps to 8/10 towards the end of this third. This smoke leaves a lot of spice on the lips.

Second third: Cedar and intense level 10 swee red pepper develops and stimulates the lips heavily as if I were eating hot peppers.

Last third: Grass and hay like sweetness begin to emerge. Notes of green tea in the background. Pepper begins to die down to a 7. Chocolate tried to make a reappearance but quickly faded out.



Final notes: Smoke time was 1hr 15min. Changed flavors throughout the session many times, roller coaster of a smoke. Full flavor stick that will leave your lips numb and craving more. No harshness at all to the very nub. My favorite out of the new releases so far. On a sidenote this cigar looks like a previous Camacho Liberty barberpole stick.

Looks like a Camacho Liberty? Probably because it is, lol

Thanks for the review! I was really down on these after listening to all the bad experiences from the last lost&found release. I bought on pure hype and then had massive buyers remorse. You've got me feeling a lot better about my purchase. I'm back to being excited!

Also, excellent review!

Yeah, didn't have an 07 for a pic, but it was the same shape and similar blend.

A good cigar is a good cigar. And the Camacho before the rebranding were damn good especially the triple maduro, but is this what the L&F really are though?

They've made statements saying the sticks they "find" are previous releases or slightly tweaked blends of previously released sticks.

Haha, the funny thing is that I was just replying to the thread and not you. But you do speak pretty good English...!

I was going to say that these scream Camacho Liberty to me...except cheaper and not in the Camacho coffins that almost always have mold.

Thanks for taking the time to do the review regardless of who made the cigar
