This little pricy cigar is all about reputation. Every year I have to buy one or two of these
when they come out. I always say, ‘why
am I overpaying for this cigar – there are others that are just as good, if not
better, and cheaper.’ I have to say that
I prefer the Cameroon over the Maduro in this cigar.
This little sucker measures in at 4.7 x 60.
Taste Profile: dry soil earthy tone, a touch of sweet maduro
that does not last long enough and mild-medium roast coffee. The mouthfeel is very dry so this cigar needs
a beverage.
I paired this cigar with Bowers Harbor Langley 2896 a red
Meritage. (Visit the wine blog to read this review) This mild-medium bodied red is
just what this cigar needs. Actually,
the wine needed the cigar. The cigar
seems to give this wine a little more body by bringing out its earthy
tone. The cigar is still on the boring
side of town.
I am going to have to remember to pass on buying the Work of
Art Maduro in the future.
