Nosotros

[jerseyjay]

I smoked my last Nosotros this past weekend and I can report that cigar definitely benefited from extra aging. In construction department, cigar had a well applied Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper with few dark running veins. If you enjoy looking at dark oily wrappers, Nosotros is an extreme opposite. I can probably go to Home Depot, buy an ultra fine sandpaper and you wouldn’t know the difference – it is that ‘sandy’ to touch. Burn has improved, drastically. With my very first sample, I recall sitting there for 1.5hr with a cigar in my left hand / a lighter in my right hand and performing a touch-up procedure for equal amount of time – it was annoying. Although the burn was far from being razor sharp, I only touched it up twice. Flavors – I can’t slice this cigar into 3s since there is definitely not enough complexity. Normal puffs and retrohale presented enjoyable spice on the lips, tongue and a small amount in the back of the throat. If you enjoy ‘wood’ in your taste, there is an abundance of it in Nosotros. I was able to pick up small amount of chocolate / coffee / cocoa. The amount of smoke on the 2nd/3rd puff was out of control. Photographing the nub and ensuring that I get sufficient amount of smoke was a piece of ‘cake.’ In conclusion, one would ask “Is Nosotros Worth The Box ?” Probably not. “Few singles ?” Yes. My expectation is extremely high when it comes to Dion’s Illusione brand and Jonathan’s Liga Privada brand. I hope they continue to innovate and continue to meet my expectation. Who knows, maybe some day we will see Nosotros Take 2.

Glad to hear they have improved with some rest. I recall smoking one last August and being really disappointed.

Great review and as always great pics!!

Great pictures.

I agree that the flavor greatly improved with some age. When I smoked my first one I was disappointed, then revisted the cigar 6 months later and it was great.

Indeed. Saw few ads for it. Looking forward to it.

Thanks Jonathan. Much appreciated. Looking forward to visiting Nica and photographing entire experience. I hear it is off the hook. Not only the estate and night life but also the 1day which concentrates on Nica itself, its culture, people, and landscape. Who knows, maybe I can swing by Nica Festival ? If not, definitely attending Cigar Safari 2012. Thx JD !

when they first came out they were a top notch smoke. I recently smoked one off the shelf at my local B&M and it just wasnt the same.
