LT Intrepidos from a March 2011 box. Been a while since I smoked one of these.
Punch reveals an effortless draw. Quick toast and light. First few puffs taste like an LT.
The LT did not age poorly or anything of the sort. Very rich, full flavor, but exceedingly smooth. Subtle spice/pepper so far. definite Cameroon notes coming through. Really excellent. Best cigar CAO ever made, imo, and by a long shot.
Much the same into the middle third. Some sweet spices and sweet tobacco, chocolate, cedar, maybe a whiff of citrus notes here and there. General spiciness has gone up but still a subdued, secondary component. White pepper on the retro. Medium-full, rich, smooth. Tastes like a Ecu Hababo and Cameroon got together and made a good fucking cigar.
