San Cristóbal de La Habana (Cuba) Oficios

Like cryinlicks, this fresh cigar started out fairly one dimensional and mild. The cigar really picked up some wonderful flavors in the second half, notably coffee, earth and a hint of chocolate. Perfect burn and slightly tight draw but very smokable. I think this may be one of those cigars that goes on to be a classic with some decent age under its belt.

Started off mild and uneventful. Picked up flavor and body in the second third, and continued to build.

Good mild smoke. Draw was a little tough, but other than that this was a nice flavor and just the right size

I first smoked one of these at the LCdH in TJ. Out of the three special sizes, this was the most pleasing. Great chocolate and espresso flavors. I purchased serveral ten packs online, and these have not lived upto that first cigar. Maybe time will help them.

This is what I said to my wife after my first taste of an SCdlH Oficios. 01/06 box and these gorgeous, aromatic delights are bursting with richness. Wonderful tobacco flavor, reasonably complex from start to finish. I bought another box to put away for a LONG time.

Nice looking cigars but not spectacular, however the taste is really excellent for a young cigar. Pretty much text book construction, the taste was earthy, chocolate and coffee notes. Complex and interesting ... well worth checking out.
