Savenelli ELR Maduro 93.925


Picked up this Maduro cigar at J.Pauls Smoke Shoppe in Oxmoor in Louisville a couple of weeks ago.  Was hugely surprised at its great flavor of this robusto.  It kept its flavor all the way thru and was more mild than I expected.  It had the Conneticut wrapper and Dominican binder and filler.  Will have to stock up on more of these for aging in the humidor.
Some info from web is below:

In 1994, Savenelli released a cigar that was made by the master blenders at Tabacalera Arturo Fuente, entitled the Savinelli ELR (Extremely Limited Reserve). Available in both Natural and Maduro, the Savinelli ELR was received well by the cigar community, getting a 91 in Cigar Aficionado and a 9.6 Superior Rating in Smoke Magazine. Using Cuban-seed tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic, the Savinelli ELR is the culmination of four years of testing to make sure the cigar was exactly what Savinelli and Fuente wanted. In fact, in Cigar Aficionado, the Savinelli ELR received the same rating as the Opus X Fuente Fuente of the same size, at half the price. Both these cigars are made in the same factory, too! Using either a delicious Connecticut Shade Grown Wrapper on the Natural cigar, or the Connecticut Sun Grown Wrapper on the Maduro cigar, the Savinelli ELR is a steal at its price!
