This is the last of the awesome cigar bomb I recieved from Matt (aka Cyrann) from the Brothers of the Leaf Forum. This is also the oldest cigar, clocking in as an early teen of 13 years.

Wow, this is one beautiful cigar. It is satiny and smooth to the touch. The cellophane is yellow from 13 years of contact with this beautiful Connecticut Shade wrapper.
The pre-light draw was easy and the cigar lit very easily from the flame of my IM Corona lighter.
The flavors, as expected were mild, but numerous. I was hit with waves of cream and wood, leather and nuts, with some of the Kelner mustiness thrown in as well.
The ash burned red hot leaving the most striking white ash I have ever seen. It did not heat up the cigar too much and the burn was dead on even.
The exhale is rich with creamy coffee and nuts with some leather and grass.
The cigar burned flawlessly another example of the artistry of Henrik Kelner. I enjoyed every minute I spent with this cigar!
Overall the cigar was creamy and woody, mild but with a lot of flavor still after 13 years. It was a pleasure to get the opportunity to try this cigar!

What an incredible bomb! Nice work, Matt! And thanks for taking the time to review them. Just because I’m salivating on the keyboard doesn’t mean I’m jealous…
There are a lot of great brothers out there that are willing to share incredible smokes!
