This is one of my favourite cigars, it along with it's brother Series D No. 4. It is one of my favourites because of its deep aromatic flavours and scents. That combined with its 6 inch by 52 gauge make it the perfect cigar to enjoy over an hour while walking the golf course or practicing at the range.
The one I enjoyed yesterday was a recent arrival from Cuba, see my first blog for details. It was young as it had only spent about 5 weeks in my humidor, but it was a lovely smoke. I enjoyed this one while practicing on the range and at the chipping green. Very relaxing. I have 4 more left from that batch and I think I will let them age for at least a year before having another one.
The aroma from this cigar is deep an earthy with some spicy notes. The flavour for the first third is light and cool with a hint of pepper. The second third strengthens slowly and the smoke grows more peppery. The final third is what I enjoy the most, the smoke is hotter and there is lots of spice and black pepper to the it.
The cigar is well constructed and over all it burnt well and evenly, it did split slightly during the first third, I think this has something to do with my humidor. I have been keeping it between 68 and 72 percent humidity and it has stay fairly constant for the last 5 weeks. I am new to keeping and maintaining a humidor so I am sure there are more tricks for me to learn.

I highly recommend this cigar. It is much cheaper than a Cohiba but has all of the strength and flavour you would expect for a Cohiba.
