Wonderfull Gigantes that left a Lusi smoked the same day way behind:
Great toasty cold draw, that will continue all along the smoke.
Pure elegance with vanilla & mocha, complexity rising as the ashes gets bigger.
I would have expected a stronger cigar, but what a balance.
Excellent draw & perfect construction - smoked the last puff until my fingers got burned.
10/10
A very highly rated cigar indeed. This is a monster but tastes as sweet as a nut - a gentle giant. It literally makes my mouth water as I smoke it and the flavours of spice, passion fruit and the tang of happiness ring around my palette as I enjoy it. It’s so fruity that it’s almost one of your five a day.
It is a big Bertha though and yes it’s for the faint hearted, but not for those who don’t want to sit quietly and avoid distraction during its consumption, which few of us do in these days of the electric telephone and Her Majesty’s internet. it has intriguing tastes and springs the intellect. I hate the phrase, but is it a ‘thinking man’s (person’s) cigar? It’s certainly not a dictator’s cigar as so many DCs are since it’s so full of complexity, energy and vitality, like a young colt, so I would suggest that if you want to sit down with a cigar as an interlocutor, rather than an accessory to another activity such as conversation or reading then this baby is one for you.
