L'Esprit de Verite 2009
L'Esprit de Verite 2009
Size: 5 x 50
Price: $20.00
The tobacco is from Pepin's La Estrella farm consisting of Habano Criollo, Criollo 98 and Pelo de Oro.
Construction: Firm, smooth, slightly vainy, flawless
It is a beautiful day in sunny California. I just had a big sushi lunch. I pop the top on a Firestone Abacus Barley Wine Ale (13% ABV), feeling good and so I decided to light up my one and only pre-release L'Esprit de Verite 2009
1/3 Wood, Toast, Butter, mild hints of Cinnamon, touch of fig
2/3 I am loving the butter, incredibly smooth, creamy, a little pepper
3/3 The right amount of pepper, more butter and cream, wood, small amount of nut (maybe cashew?)
Burn time: appox. 45 mins
The burn was pure perfection start to finish. Zero wrapper issues, like some complained about with a few of the 2008 sticks. This cigar is very unique. I would not describe it as complex, but instead, absolutely consistent. It's delicious though. I think Pete might have a hit on his hands with this one. I'm pretty sure most everyone will like it more than the 2008. Best of all these sticks are ready to smoke!!!
I'm am sure you guys know you can order your boxes in advance for special pricing. I highly recommend this cigar!
