Carlos
III Poderoso
Origin: Honduras
Size: 7.00 X 30/60 
Wrapper: EMS
From
Cigar Weekly:
Carlos III Cigars has manufactured a stylish
figurado that conjures up images of earlier
times. They've hand-sculpted a line of classic
figurado shapes, with a blend of Nicaraguan,
Honduran, Mexican, and domestic tobaccos. Named
after founder Carleton Edgar Mott III, the
Vegas-based company was started up by he and
a few other long-time industry veterans. The
Poderoso filler is a blend of Nicaraguan Ligero
and Honduran Seco. Surprisingly, the binder
is from Pennsylvania. The wrapper is a dark
Indonesian EMS.

Notes:
This was a really great smoke. Completely
different from anything I've tried so far.
The taper was huge, from 60 at the foot to
30 at the cap. It started out really mild and
then around ¼ of the way down it just
exploded. The taste just kept getting bigger
and bigger. It changed flavors at least three
times. It burned for well over an hour. A really
great smoke.
