Christmas is just around the corner. So a (further) good reason for an intimate Christmas Smoke with my friend Andi (Sauti) and a few cigars before Christmas with the final phase in various Tasks and meetings going. The pleasant 4 eyes had atmosphere was almost something peaceful and should show how the later smoked cigars and an event corresponding to very good. As always, this evening (by the way back to Andi) very entertaining. This time I had brought
Dunhill Seleccion Suprema H. Upmann No.201 of 1962 and Davidoff Chateau Latour from 1987 . All cigars showed their best side in terms of adoption flame, burn and train. We stayed this time right from the start on a gentle / slow smoke technology and this was worth it.
The H. Upmann Dunhill Seleccion Suprema No.. 201 had, despite their age still an intense bouquet that close to an ideal storage in the past (also in the rooms of Dunhill London) and hope for a positive benefit can be. This hope was not disappointed and so was the cigar smoke over the course interesting with a thickness of roughly 3.5 / 5 In summary, the woody aroma notes (possibly fresh spruce), phase, honey and candied sugar voluminous with a final third. Significant notes of tobacco were permanently present. Such an old cigar smoke always carries the risk that they ; their peak has passed and possibly is only flat and boring Whether this. Cigar the peak had already I can not say with absolute certainty but there is no doubt that it offered a very nice pleasure and that's what matters because it is the experienced reality.

Davidoff Chateau Latour was so secures its place because I wanted to see how it has been The Area Cigar Smoke Christmas 2009, has developed almost exactly one year. At that time I made a picture of the box http://montehiba.blogspot.com/2009/12/areacigar-weihnachtssmoke-in-wien.html . When I had read the report in advance of last year I was surprised how well these impressions are joined together with those from the current experience. The one year longer storage and more attentive than when smoking technique revealed a large group of which the cigar is actually at the peak. Besides the impressions from last year and the typical characteristics of the Chateau series which I had last ( http://montehiba.blogspot.com/2010/11/vintage-smoke-casa-sauti.html ) described noticed we recommend the following aroma notes - gingerbread, caramel, pretzels and butter or cream. A very creamy smoke with This time not so very variable thickness of about 2.5 / 5 A very fine cigar, which will be treated as such so that they unfold their full potential and be the best Cuban Davidoff tasted to date. The remainder is in any case now be stored so that only minimal further development takes place - it is optimal.
is striking the Cuban Davidoff cigars probably generally no longer have huge development potential as well as some other collectors / aficionados confirmed me. In addition to the cigars from the Chateau Series or the Dom Perignon is likely that other formats have already passed its peak if not years ago were stored for very slow development. For the first one is, however, also be enjoyed in the foreseeable future and / or if the cigars are good now store them so the little to no development takes place. The evolution can be slow on the relative humidity, temperature, and a possible air-tight environment. With new products such Davidoff cigars I would recommend this as "young" means to acquire in the last few years of production in Cuba (eg 1985-1991).
