A Gem of a Cigar!, 17th Mar 2017
Reviewer: The Cigar Authority
The draw of the Black Diamond has notes of brown sugar and plum. There is a subttle cocoa note as well which is more noticeable on the aroma from the foot of the cigar which also has hints of earth. After toasting and lighting the cigar the initial notes of the cigar are brown sugar.
As we continue through the first third of the cigar, the brown sugar remains dominant and there are notes of leather, cocoa and a touch of wheat. The cigar is incredibly smooth with a subtle strength to it. Through the nose there are notes of burning wood at the fire pit and a subtle pepper.
In the second third of the cigar I can’t help but think I want a rum & coke with a wedge of lime to go with this. It’s a cheap drink for such an expensive cigar, so I am curious if anyone else has a pairing they would recommend for this cigar. The notes are a hint of lime, molasses and wood notes. There is a leather component that fades away around the half way point but remains on the retrohale.
The final third of the cigar sees the notes of leather become dominant with some notes of wood and cocoa in the background. Some of the sweetness remains on the finish and the retrohale of the cigar offers up notes of wood and pepper. The cigar burns cool and is exceptionally smooth from start to finish.
