Was at the LCDH in Montreal about a year and a half ago and they had a roller there. He was not allowed to sell the cigars he was making thoough. I gave the manager a few REs that I'd brought up north with me (PLL, Punch SR and RA Emenencia) and he ended up "giving" me a few customs. I love the in-your-face flavors of the custom stuff. I also like Correnti's stuff-have some piramids that were rolled there five years ago that are just delicious!!!
Right from the cut, I was afraid that I didn't leave it long enough.
The cap was very pliable and resisted cutting. But it did actually cut fine. It just let me squeeze it too much before it cut. And my cutter is still very sharp. So I was afraid it was still moist.
Right from toasting the foot, I could tell it was a very good Cuban tobacco.
First few puffs were perfect. Very smooth and mild. It stayed that way almost untill half way. At half it turned a bit more full bodied, but quickly went back to mild. Mine had a bit of a firm draw, but nothing to complain about. It still smoked very nice. It burned nice and even. I did have to re-light it, just because we got talking a little too much.
All in all, a very enjoyable smoke, a great way to cap off a fantastic weekend.
Sure is nice to have some nice weather in wich to enjoy a very fine cigar for a change.
I give my cigar a 85.
I'm very happy with it. I'm looking forward to smoking the next one in a years time.

I agree completely with your review, as I had a piramide on the weekend. These cigars need 6 to 12 in solitary confinement as they are too wet, and mine kept going out.
The prelight aroma is very nice and the foot roasting aroma is incredible. My cigar was a bit tight due to the wetness, but like yours, it started very mellow and then got full bodied at the half way point.
Now, I did stop smoking with about 1/3 left and decided to dissect this cigar, and found maduro leaves in the center and one leaf in particular had a huge vein (about 1.5 mils in diameter), but otherwise the leaves looked full and no scraps.
Although I did watch the master roller make these cigars, for all I know the tobacco is from Tilsonburg, Ontario, as he also authenticated the fake Sublimes. He suggested I let the cigar rest a few days in a humidor before smoking. I would recommend 6 months minimum.
85 to 88 rating Possibly after aging for 1 year this rating will go well North of 90.
