Por Larranaga Magnificos Cigar - Box of 25

This is one hell of a cigar at 6.75 x 50 and it feels great in the hand. Pre light the cigar looked wonderful with a flawless wrapper and a solid feel to it with one of the nicest Cuban cigar bands I have seen gracing it. A firm cut led to a perfect drawing cigar that surprised me from the off with instant spicy/peppery overtones from the very first draw. It is a medium bodied smoke and it produced loads of flavourful smoke at each and every draw. This was one of the few cigars that I could smell perfectly as well as taste and the aroma was magnificent. I decided to be generous with this one and shared the experience with the better half and she too found it to be an exquisite smoke. The flavour moved up a notch after the first third but still stuck to the medium bodied ground. Ash was mid grey and firm and held for well over an inch before I lost my bottle a tapped it into the ashtray rather than wear it. It never got harsh during the whole smoke and left a wonderful aftertaste. This was such a good smoke I nubbed it and managed to drag around 90 minutes of easy and extremely enjoyable smoking from it. I can only say this is the kind of cigar that should round off a good meal and be paired with a fine wine or spirit. If anyone is considering trying these I would thoroughly recommend you give them a go. (review by Andy Connew)
