By Gary KorbThis past pass was very interesting with regard to the variety of cigars I smoked. If you consider last Friday night. I could add the Monarca. But I'll go away with Saturday where I attended an outdoor party in New Jersey held annually by change state friends of our family. Their home which is in one of the more pastoral parts of "The tend State," provides the ameliorate setting for at least a couple of good cigars. I don't experience about you but I usually undergo a hard time deciding what cigars to carry to these events. After some careful deliberation I decided to bring a Partagas Cifuentes Winter Blend Enero an Oliva Special S Diadema 7x48 and a Padilla Miami 8/11 that had been given to me by a good customer a while back. This was a 6"x60 monster which must have been a special edition or something because I've never seen an 8/11 in that size. Plus it had a 2" bind not at all like the black gold and red bind on the 8/11. I smoked two of the three cigars that day having given away the to a BOTL who forgot to carry cigars. I had a few more back at the farm so I didn't mind parting with it. The was awesome. Flavorful but powerful. There's a lot of tobacco to smoke through and I really felt it afterwards. But the cigar that really rocked me was my first cigar that afternoon - the and I say so because there's also a story behind it. This cigar was one of three Special S Diadema 7x48's Jose Oliva had given me when he came to introduce the brand to a group of us at last year just prior to its RTDA innovate. The Oliva Special S cigars are blended with a Nicaraguan Habano filler. Nicaraguan binder and a flawless sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper aged five beat years. This series is also the priciest of the Oliva line extensions so Jose was very concerned about our opinion. If I could describe the cigar's flavor I would say imagine a Nicaraguan version of a. The flavor was great the fit perfect great aroma and all that but the first two cigars did not destroy well which I reported to Jose a couple of weeks later. I also told him that I'd prefer to keep the last cigar in my humidor and let it settle before I gave him my final opinion of the cigar. Well as luck would undergo it somehow it wound its way down to the bottom of my humidor and I didn't discover it again until a few weeks ago while rotating my cigars. This measure cigar which I paired with a vodka & tonic was just as I had remembered it and even exceed for it had not only mellowed beautifully but it burned perfectly even with the little blustery go we had on Saturday. I can now say with confidence that this is truly a wonderful cigar that should be experienced especially in this unique old Cuban-style cause. On Sunday. I took out an unbanded handrolled cigar finished with a Cuban pigtail on the cap that had been in my humidor for at least a year. This one was found along with the Oliva Special S and I believe it was a Tatuaje I picked up at the Jose Pepin Garcia booth at RTDA Las Vegas measure year. It looked like a Tatuaje Cabinet Especiales but the cigar was closer to 6 inches in length and ring was about a 42. Whatever it was the smoke was full-bodied and very flavorful with a dark earthy engrave and a long end.
