Today I had my first Ave Maria and it was everything Ccom says it is. I usually don't pay much attention to what I am smoking as far as the in depth flavors and aroma but with this one I found myself not only paying attention but also being taken back in time.
Before lighting it the aroma from the foot and the entire cigar was wonderful, not to strong or to weak. While toasting it the aroma had a lite sweetness to it. The draw was perfect for me, it was easy but with a little resistance, which I like. Right off the bat I got the taste of the spices, more like a peppery taste which in itself was pleasant.The burn was even from start to finish. I removed the band because I didn't want it to end and Ii am glad I did.
I am sure all of us at one time have had a memory spurred from the smell of food or a certain song. With cigars I have never had this happen until today and it happened when I finally blew a little through my nose. I was gladly reminded of my time in England at the base I was stationed at in 77. I could see myself sitting in the big leather chair up in the breakroom with all the different smells of pipes, cigars, tea and coffee with everyone just having a good time relaxing.
Maybe this review sounds a bit crazy or korny to some but for me it has been a long time since I have had an experience like this with anything I have done let alone with a cigar. This one will find a permanent place in my humidor. I just wonder with time to age if the experience will intensify.
