When I first smoked the Edicion Especial blend in the minuto size, it left an instant impression on me. Just right away with the white pepper flavor through the nose, cedar aroma, and earthy core- I found a lot of complexity packed into this cigar. Perhaps that is why I now consider this size my favorite for the blend. It is the one that my memory is fondest of.

The beauty of this cigar is that you have a complex blend presented in a small size. The flavors are complex with a medium body but balanced with a beautiful construction. The blend compacted in this size I believe intensifies the flavor, but nothing I would consider to be too much. To me, it is just perfect. I’ve had a number of these and have found consistency in each one I smoke which is also very nice.

If you ever have those busy days, weeks, you name it where you just want a moment to relax but cannot dedicate the evening, then a cigar of this size does wonders.  You can relax, enjoy, and get back the focus you need to last the rest of the day. Even if you do have the time it can be a great first cigar to get the mood going.

For me, it is just a fun and enjoyable smoke that has quickly become one of my “go-to” cigars.
