81812 Warped Flor del Valle was excited to try this one, only 2 weeks in my humidor. Saw em on sale and needed to try my single to decide if I should buy a tenski.
Straight pepper bomb to start. Not typical Nicaraguan pepper bomb either this was burn the sinuses I just snorted cayenne type pepper. And nothing else came through until after the first ash drop. Now it turned into more the cigar I anticipated. Much more pleasant. There's still a bit of a bite on retro but either it chilled out or I adapted quickly. Either way, it's quite pleasant. The texture is thin but building, honey roasted nuts coming forward. Halfway, the cream has continued to build and is where I like it. Nice buttery rich texture, loads of sharp spice, some mineral notes, some woodiness, there's a lot here and I am enjoying it. Tenski is a go. I paid $8 for the single and $55 for the ten pack.
