Review Notes: Got a chance to smoke a '98 from a cab and it was good enough that I had to give it an updated review. A decent looking cigar with a lush draw and straight burn, it had the earthy, nutty flavor I experienced in the '03. But about 1/2 way through, it had an amazing transformation and began to shine with flavors of cocoa, coffee and cream....the flavors practically burst out of the smoke, and it finished as one of the nicest cigars I have smoked in some time...a true winner!

Review Notes: Gifted this one from an '03 Cab...not the prettiest cigar in the humi, but the flavors more than made up for it. Toasted nuts for the first half, then picked up some twang for the latter. The burn was less than perfect but it had a nice smooth draw with lots of smoke...definitely a nice medium bodied smoke.
