Cigars of Solono

  La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso (5.5x54) Introduction - Deep dark chocolate and earthiness flavor with hints of coffee and cedar. Draw is excellent and quite smooth. Long finish with a bit of oiliness. No spiciness on retrohale or in the mouth but leaves a lingering sort of pepper-like tingle on the tongue with a strong earthiness. Medium body with no strength. Midway - Dark chocolate has transitioned into a milk chocolate, earthiness, coffee and cedar remain but slight pepperiness coming in as well. Burn is excellent. Finish is about the same in terms of length but the oiliness has gone quite a bit up. Very slight spiciness on the retrohale now. Still medium body, no strength. Finish - Earthiness dominates the flavors with some pepper coming in stronger. Burn is still excellent. Finish is much longer now and very oily, coating my tongue and mouth now. Spiciness is up a bit on the retrohale. Getting a slight tingling sensation on my lips. Remains a medium body, minor strength. ...

Rocky Patel Twentieth Toro (6x52)  Introduction - A sweet, creamy cocoa and coffee flavor at the start. Draw is excellent, and is very smooth. Moderate finish with slight oiliness. No spiciness on the retrohale or in the mouth. Medium body with no strength. Midway - Burn is good. Flavors are the same but with an undertone of earthiness coming in. Finish and oiliness remain the same. Slightest hint of spiciness on the retrohale. Now a medium-full body, with little to no strength. Finish - Burn was slightly off-kilter but only needed a minor touch-up. Flavors are the same but the earthiness is now more pronounced. Finish is longer now but oiliness is not prominent. Retrohale has slight spiciness and a strong lingering earthiness. Little to no strength still.  Duration: 44 minutes Price: Around $12 Grade: 8/10 Comments: This is a hell of a cigar and the price is reasonable for the quality.
