Quick Smoke: Curivari Reserva Limitada Classica Epicure
3 Dec 2017
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€
I rarely get to enjoy this indulgence, but a cigar in the morning with a good cup of coffee and the newspaper is a great way to spend an hour or so on Saturday or Sunday. Recently, on an uncharacteristically warm December day, I fired up a Curivari Reserva Limitada Classica Epicure (4.5 x 52). The Nicarguan puro features a dark, oily wrapper and a band that’s reminiscent of the Cuban Partagas Series D. The short robusto starts out with a blast of oak and chocolate and background notes of shortbread cookies and hints of black pepper spice. With excellent combustion producing a solid gray ash, this is a strong recommendation considering its sub-$6 price tag.
Verdict = Buy.

I like these a lot, though I’ve never had this size. Curivari is awesome.
