So I'm too lazy to go upstairs and type out a review in my normal format, so I'm just going to give you guys the gist from the iPad:

Just smoked a Pinar del Rio Small Batch Exclusivo. I believe it was a toro, but whatever it was it was a good size, slow burning and a long, relaxing smoke. The evening went from dusk to twilight to darkness during the cigar. The first third was...



...delicious! The Exclusivo put out a great amount of smoke and began with cream and honey. Soon cedar took over. But as I got to the second third...



...the flavors diminished and spicy cedar turned into more of an earthy oak. The burn is great - straight and cool. The ash is dense and clean. Then at the final third...



...the flavors picked back up in intensity as coffee was added to the earthy oak from before. This is a great cigar, and although I've heard mixed reviews about PDRs, I'm loving this brand so far with two reviews down.
