5th bday Por Larranaga Petit Coronas

I pulled one of these out this morning and took a quick squiz at the box code - Agosto 2012. When I bought this cabinet of 50 probably in 2013, it was expressly so that some of the cigars therein could reach the 5 year mark. Why? These are just one of those cigars that had been said to improve after 5 years.

Fortunately in this case they've also been most enjoyable all the way along. The difference? Well, the body is a tad lighter, there's definitely a bit less grunt in the trunk and a slight hint of extra sweetness, bringing them a bit closer to say, those Quai d'Orsay Coronas which we once had. Even easier on the tongue with morning coffee ... whereas before i was sometimes tempted to make it morning whisky or [insert hard liquor here] for that last third. Mission Accomplished I'll say...
