Eerst wat proza: "La Unica cigars have been offered by J.C. Newman Cigar Company since 1986. These cigars have a unique history behind them. Prior to it’s conception, Stanford Newman challenged Carlos Fuente, Sr. to create something that had never been done before. He wanted to make a cigar that was rich, powerful, flavorful and delicious, but to be packed in an inexpensive cellophaned bundle. Prior to this idea, the only cigars that were offered in bundles, were factory seconds. It was unheard of at the time to put high quality, premium, cigars in a bundle in order to save the customer some money. La Unica were these cigars, and as Carlos Fuente, Sr. selected the sizes, Stanford Newman approved the blend and they were on their way. La Unica cigars are made up of a combination of specially aged Cuban-seed Dominican long filler tobacco, as well as either a creamy, mild Connecticut wrapper, or a rich Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. In a mere six months after it’s introduction, La Unica cigars became the number one selling premium bundled cigar in America. Although the current La Unica cigar features the same blend and construction, it is no longer bundled, but instead presented in custom cedar cabinets of twenty. J.C. Newman Cigar Company has made sure that the price has stayed true to their original vision, and our customers will certainly validate this. Cigar Aficionado has rated La Unica an “outstanding” cigar, by giving it an 90. Although unflavored, a La Unica cigar starts out with hints of sweetness, and fruit, and the complexity of this cigar unravels with every puff. La Unica cigars have a nutty, creamy flavor that is satisfying for an everyday smoke, and ideal for the mild bodied smoker. "
De #300 is een mooie lange Lonsdale. Was onderdeel van een Grab Bag bij Atlantic. Donker gekleurd. Mooi zoetje a cru. Lichte peper achter op de tong.
Makkelijk aan te steken. Begint met mooie geuren en smaken. Zoet blijft. Genieten. Gedurende eerste derde blijven het zoete en de lichte peper. De sigaar is zeer smaakvol, maar wordt nergens overweldigend. Ook de geuren zijn heerlijk. Lekker kruidig met een zoete ondertoon. Hier zou ik er graag meer van willen hebben, maar helaas, ik heb maar 1 exemplaar. De sigaar is trouwens licht box pressed, dus vierkant.
De smaken lopen de hele tijd mooi door. Pas bij het eind wordt de sigaar scherp en leg ik hem weg. Pracht sigaar. Voor $60 voor 20 bij Atlantic is een koopje. Nu nog kijken hoe of waar ik ze in NL kan krijgen.
