Tim's List
NHC Seleccion Limitada Reserva by Tatuaje - I had mentioned during Episode 11 that I had smoked this stick during the pre-game but I didn't talk much about it. This 6.75 x 42 Nicaraguan puro is wrapped in Broadleaf and is sold exclusively by New Havana Cigars. This cigar began with a balanced mix of coffee, cocoa, and leather with the addition of some dark chocolate on the second half. Construction was perfect, the price reasonable, and I really think the vitola works for this blend. A definite “Fiver”.
Camacho Diploma Series Robusto - A full flavored stick with lots of leather, pepper, and wood. Decent burn, good draw. I would smoke it while working around the yard or with a peaty scotch. "The Angler"
Oliva Serie V No. 4 - I loved this vitola! The larger sizes of the Oliva Serie V are great but this corona was a nice variation of the blend. Smooth with lots of pepper, some floral notes, and a nice Ligero sweetness. The burn was razor sharp, draw perfect, and the ash so firm, it actually stayed intact when it hit my deck. Might have to order two "Fivers".
