Review Notes: I have a 1964 Torpedo ageing in my humidor waiting for my 21st birthday but I have been dying to try one of these series. So today I when I was at the smoke shop I picked up a diplomatico. WOW. Excellent construction with a nice oily wrapper and a great scent The burn was clean, no runners and the white ash stuck all the way to about 3/4. Tons of rich smelling smoke from this guy. The flavor was that of toasted nuts with coco, changing to an almost spicy taste towards the end. Smoked it till all that was left was the cap with no harshness.

 Review Notes: This line will never let you down. I've gone back to this cigar everytime I want a special occassion smoke. Never exceeded the hype. The bench mark in box-pressed cigars! Absolutely perfect. Don't compare this to Opus, because they are two completely different cigars. Apples and oranges. Worth every penny and then some.

 Review Notes: It's amazing when you can smoke a cigar so many times, and the experience is like the first time all over again. Everyone knows about the construction, so I won't even go there. The first draw was a burst of smoke and clean earthy flavors. For how long this cigar is, the draw is outstanding. Hints of cashews, maybe coffee bean, just simply silky. Toward the second half of the cigar, it opened up a little more and brought out a little more of a leathery taste and coffee finish. Never got harsh, while still maintaining it's complex flavors. It's so hard not to like these smokes. You try to find flaws, but you just keep thinking, why can't every cigar experience be as pleasant. Smoke to the nub, like always.

 Review Notes: It may sound strange but the best way I can describe the taste of this cigar is clean. The Diplomaticos I have smoked all have an amazing clean Nicaraguan floral taste. The construction was a thing of beauty. The cigar kept it's perfect burn after the ash fell off unlike so many other cigars I have smoked...No runners, also all of the Diplomaticos I've smoked were rock solid and still had a flawless draw. I cannot think of a finer smoke...Other than a Padron 64 Anniversary Maduro Torpedo.

 Review Notes: This cigar surpasses its outstanding reputation. Magic experience end to end. Outstanding appearance and construction. Great smoke volumes. The taste is amazingly good and consistent from the first sweet impression all the way to the consistently medium to strong flavor right to the nub. Its everything you ever heard it is... and apparently the demand supports the price, which is more than I'd normally pay for a cigar. I will buy more... but I will shop very hard to find a better deal.
