Hi again folks, had an opportunity to try a most unique cigar made. This is made by Arturo Fuente and is called the Reserva No 77 Pyramid. This rare cigar is also know as the Shark due to its unusual shape and is made in very limited quantities. It starts off as a pyramid shape at the head and becomes, what someone would call Box Pressed, square in shape at the foot. It is a 5.8 x 54 cigar with a 5 year old Maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel. The filler and binder are reported to be from the same tobacco that goes into the Fuente Fuente OPUS X. It is a full bodied smoke and, as this reviewer can attest, should be smoked on a full stomach. Whoa to those who smoke this without having consumed a decent meal. I have smoked a couple of them but haven't had the time to dissect this cigar to write a review. Hopefully I'll be able to smoke one and provide my loyal followers with a detailed review.
See you at De La Concha this Saturday as we celebrate the International Pipe Smoking Day.
