The Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Limited Edition starts off with a beautiful
Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Same as the core Reserva Especial, only with more
shine. The wrapper of this Limited Edition is firm, but has soft spot or two. While
the wrapper of the cigar gives off hints of cedar and spice aroma the foot has very
strong oaky, and earthy aroma.
The pre-light draw on the Limited Edition starts off
with a bitter dark chocolate taste before moving towards a cedar flavor. Upon first
draw after lighting you immediately get hit with strong peppery flavor, you then get
notes of cinnamon and coffee upon second and third draws. The Limited Edition has a
nice burn to it, not a lot of smoke coming off the foot while holding which is a
plus in my book. Ash on the Limited Edition holds for about an 1″ to 1.5″. The
strength of the Limited Edition eases up a little towards the middle of the cigar
smoothing out the smoke. You still get all the flavors from first lite but just not
as strong.
The end Limited Edition is where the strength of the cigar starts to pick
back up again, with every draw you get all the spices noted at the start only with
more heat behind them. I nubbed down the Limited Edition because that’s what I tend
to do with all cigars that I smoke as to ensure that I’m getting my monies worth and
also its full flavor profile. Overall the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Limited
Edition was a good and not great smoke to me. It didn’t seem to have the full body
flavor that it claims to be for my taste, maybe that will be different for another
palette.
