Okay, quite excited about this little figurado. Heard a lot of interesting things about the Divinos.

Very sweet in the opening. A really tight draw, almost too tight, with a lovely thick smoke. There are sweet fruit on the draw, salty tang/vinegar on the tongue, bitter oak in the aftertaste and a fruit aroma in the scent. There are moments of sour ammonia and coffee flavors. In short, a strong little flavor bomb of sweet’n'salty vegetal notes. This smoke needs alot more rest. I would give it 4 more years in the humidor before giving these a chance. I rate it 85 from a selection dated 2009.

These beautiful shaped and gorgeous dark maduro cigars have been resting in my humidor for a couple of months. Basking side by side with the Cohiba Pyramidas EL 2006. Two masterpieces from cuba. Today I wanted to take it for a ride and se if it was worth using space in the humidor for the next many years of aging.

From pre-lidt to the first puffs, this is a very smooth smoke. Very floral/vegetal. Medium fruit to full floral with a bit of cedar and vanilla. Very sweet maduro taste. The first inch is burning straight with white ash and the flavours are released heavyli in a thick cloud. This is still a young cigar but is allready tasting great. With some aging this will be a perfect desert cigar for a special event. I will rate it 92.
