Quick Smoke: Paul Garmirian Soirée Belicoso
11 Dec 2010
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
It has been close to a year since I wrote about Soirée, a Nicaraguan Colorado-wrapped blend launched in 2008 by Paul Garmirian. The Belicoso (6.25 x 52) may be the best of the line’s four vitolas. It displays outstanding construction with a well-balanced profile of dry wood, soft pepper, creamy caramel, and overall depth befitting a cigar that costs about$13.
Verdict = Buy.

I tried one of these a while back. For the money, the davidoff millennium blend is MUCH better tasting!
