First off lets see how the catalogs decribe this lucious looking corojo: Victor Sinclair Serie ’55’ is an exquisite smoke utilizing a 5 country blend of tobaccos and an extensive 5 year aging process, hence the ’55’ name. ’55’ Corojo (red) - wrapped in a gorgeous dark Corojo leaf, the Serie ’55’ Red offers an incredibly smooth, complex, medium to full-bodied smoke.
Ther redish corojo wrapper is almost flawless/seemless. The body is firm and the prelight draw is very good, with tastes of sweet cedar and raisens. Upon light I was greated with nice tastes of nuts, sweet like pecans. It took about an inch in to get any noticeable pepper through the nose and on the palette. Even though this is not a sweetened cigar, there is quite a noticeable sweetness to the smoke and upper palette. The burn was even with a flakey greyish ash, and when the ash came off it produced a blunt cone. About halfway through the pepperiness kicked up just a bit, not over abundant or overbearing, but very nicely done. About this time I started getting earthy tastes. At the begining this cigar was on the mild side but by the end it became more medium in body.
You can obtain this cigar from both Thompsons Cigar and Cigars International catalogs or on line at thier respective site. Thompsons though only seem to sell these as part of samplers and CI does factory seconds for $35-40 for 20 cigars.
Buzz Rating on this one I give 7.5 out of 10: A real nice low to medium buzz.
Overall I give a 4 out of 5: Nice tastes throughout. I wouldnt say this cigar is uneventful with its subtle changes as it progressed. Like I have said in earlier posts, I have never had a Victor Sinclair Cigar I didnt like. And this cigar is no exception!
Until next post........Peace!
