Pinar del Rio Seleccion 2010

“I really don't want to write a positive review of this cigar ... until I've purchased my limit and plenty of stock ... also I'm a little confused as to the difference between the Seleccion 2010 and the Reserva Limitada (both have a second ring that says this), but one cigar on the main band has Seleccion and one has Exclusivo ... and both cigars visibly are hard to tell apart (except for this one word difference on the label) ... so I really haven't gotten a handle on the flavor distinctions of each ... I need to smoke a few more to get a hold of that ... The first "S2010" I had was a toro, and I thought it was intense with lots of flavor, but felt it had some rough edges that could/would be smoothed out with some more humi time ... since then I've had a couple more and the cedar love does improve an already good cigar ... One torp that came from the torpedo sampler did not have much flavor but that was pretty much OTT. The toros and churchill I've had were more intense. One warning ... I suggest not smoking this right before bed time ... I had some very strange dreams after smoking the toro on a couple different nights ... better have it a little earlier. Very interesting cigar.”

“The reserve limitada is an interesting cigar flavor wise. It has a very broad band of flavors and it's nicely blended. It needs a good month or two nap before burning. I found that at 65% it really comes alive, above that it gets muted. Also on the torpedo's, cut a nice 5/8" opening to experience the large flavor profile, an absolute great value for the price. ”

“Absolutely awesome cigar! I really love the new PDR Reserva Limitada but I like this one a little bit more. Very well made and burns great. I peg this one as leaning a little more towards the Full Body side over the Medium Body. Really love the myriad of flavors I experience every time I smoke on of these. Pinar Del Rio is definitely on their game and it shows in their products.”
