Espinosa Laranga Reserva Corona Gordo
So I paired this up with a mildish IPA. Immaculate construction. Lights easily, straight burn. The initial impression was of a mild fairly bland smoke, but it quickly builds into a tasty cereal and nut combo. Light cedar.
Towards the end it crescendos considerably and becomes addictive. The nuttiness in particular builds nicely.
Overall a solid smoke. The draw is easy, as is typical of Erik's cigars. It sits nicely with the slight hops bitterness of an IPA.
