If a sherpards pie is comfort food, than the AF Don Carlos Double Robusto is my confort smoke. This is the cigar that you want to smoke on a cold fall afternoon while sitting on your porch.
Well, i didnt even know I ahd this cigar until i opened a long forgotten humidor that was sitting in my office. (thank god the humidity pack was still good) The cigar has been in there for about 4 years and WOWZA!
Some pre light notes: the wrapper was sikly smooth and even with some age on it the stick smelled as fresh as could be.
My first draw i said to myself, "wow im smoking maple syrup," the cigar started out so sweet and fresh with loads of sweet honey that i almost thought it was flavored. It stayed very consistent throught, with mixes of dry mocha, maple syrup with a touch of cocoa. The aroma was very pleasant with fresh tobacco scents. The burn was spot on and the ash held beautifully. The stick burned warm, but never got hot. it just made me feel warm and cozy to smoke it, unfortunatly i picked an 85 degree day to try it.
This is one satisfying smoke! the finish got a bit metallic and hot, so rather than ruin a great experience i decided to just let it go out while still enjoying the aroma of it burning.
At $11.60, 4 years ago, who knows what its priced at now, this would not be an everyday smoke for me, but i certainly did enjoy. I will purchase maybe 1 or 2 more and age them as well.
Anyone else enjoy these?
