Notes:

The La Escepcion Series III is the third in a limited edition line (starting in '99) from the Villazon factory in Honduras (same place that makes Hoyo de Monterrey and JR Ultimates). The Series III is a medium to full bodied smoke. This particular cigar, the Frank Llanza double corona size, is wrapped in a dark Ecuadorian grown EMS leaf with an oily sheen. It is well constructed, with a Honduran/Nicaraguan filler. The wrapper imparts a peppery, spicy taste, but in keeping with the Hoyo and JR Ultimate cigars from the same factory, that is understandable. The cigar draws well, with a lot of smoke. The strength is on the high end of medium, with lots of robust tobacco flavor. Obviously, this is a quality cigar. If you like a stronger, but not overpowering, Honduran cigar, this one is a good choice. It reminded me a lot of the JR Ultimate double corona, but a tad milder.
