La Aroma de Cuba Monarch cigar review
La Aroma de Cuba Monarch cigar review 10/30/2023 This may be first times smoking one of these. I've enjoyed a few Don Pepin Garcia smokes and admire his ability to make some great full flavored cigars. This one is all Nicaraguan with an oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. I've had this one aging like a year so it is primed for smoking. Can be had for like $7 when you buy a box. It's pretty windy here in Georgia on this night before Halloween. Cold front moving in, but about 60 out now. Wind calming, pretty good smoking weather. Lots of flavor at first. Has a lot going on: spice, sweetness, fruit, dried fruit, and some cedar. To me it is intriguing, strong, and great, but not my favorite flavors so far. But I love a complex smoke so I like it so far. If it can develop those earthy Nicaraguan flavors, it may be a winner. Burning damn good and smooth. It is mellowing out a bit. Not so much dried fruit but more deeper wood and cedar taste.
