L’atelier ER14 | Saturday Stogies
First Third:
This cigar starts off with an initial black pepper trigger that wakes your pallet up right away. The first third radiates a strong leather and sweet molasses taste with a hint of woodland on the back end. Smoke output is good, not super heavy, and has a chestnut aroma. Draw is a little on the tighter side but your pallet comes off nice and clean. The full body of the ER14 is very mild and extremely enjoyable.
Second Third:
The black pepper from the first third died out at this point and has been replaced with a hint of cocoa. There is heavy rich tobacco flavor through the finish of this third with woodsy deep undertones. The smoke output has reduced to a minimum and the strength is at a medium level.
Final Third:
Final third pulls through with a very full body strength. The sweetness from the first third comes back every once in a while. The pallet isn’t very clean in this third and is heavily coated with an earthy, woods flavor. You will definitely have to eat/clean your pallet before your smoke your next one. Overall, this is a very good cigar and we definitely want to see how it evolves over the aging process. This year’s blend is the same is last year but comes in this awesome 6 1/8th X 52 Torpedo size, however, we still really enjoy the ER13 from last year in the 5 7/8th x 52 Robusto Extra size. We can’t wait to see what they put out next year! A new size? A new blend? Tell us your prediction in the comments!
