Vegas de Santiago red Label perla

Aladino Vintage rothschild

Aladino Vintage was not a particularly complex cigar and the flavors I felt at the beginning were the same until the end. The texture was creamy and the dominant flavors I felt were a nuttiness that went towards hazelnut, general florality, hay, cedar and herbs. In the background there were flavors of general acidity, ground coffee beans and a fruity sweetness. The retrohalation tickled the nose slightly and gave nuances of red pepper.
PDR A. Flores 1975 Gran Reserva Maduro Half Corona

The PDR A. Flores 1975 Gran Reserva Maduro Half Corona cigar has a lovely balance of flavors with citrus peel that stands out a bit. The body that is medium on the verge of full makes it suitable for the slightly more experienced aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think you get a lot of cigar for the money.
Perdomo 10th Anniversary Connecticut Robusto

The texture was creamy with a light oiliness that kept the cigar from feeling dry on the taste buds. The dominant flavors I felt were coffee latte with vanilla syrup, hay, general nuttiness with hints of hazelnuts, leather and a general sweetness. In the background there were nuances of white pepper and general pepperiness, fruitiness and salmiac.
My father Don Pepin Black 1979 Robusto

My father Don Pepin Black 1979 cigars started with a creamy pleasant texture. The dominant flavors I felt were sweet herbs, leather, cedar, maltiness and general sweetness. In the background there were flavors of butter, fruitiness, nuttiness, a taste that is most easily described as mint leaves and caffe latte with sugar. Retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of general pepperiness and cedar.
