Russ, nice review. Never had one of those but, I do have some in the humi resting. Question, in your thoughts comment you state,"I also worry that there might be consistency issues with this one." Do you think it has aging potential, that with over time make it a delightful smoke?

Thanks. To be honest, I really don't know what age will do to this. There wasn't a ton of spice in the flavor to reduce, and it didn't feel harsh through the nose. Age might mellow the power a bit, and I could see some considering this full bodied, so it might help there if they wanted less power. I smoked this one with one day of rest, so basically ROTT, and it seemed fine to me. I'll give the other one I have 6 months to a year and hope it's not plugged.

Nice review Russ! I am on the final third of my first Potencia...a massive 6x60! I received it a couple months ago, and have no idea how long it rested prior, but the cello was starting to yellow a bit. I'm very pleased with it. The dominant flavors have been earthy, with some coffee and a bit of spice (not much). The burn has been a lil off here and there, but I kinda expected that from the 60 ring on a humid Georgia evening!

Good review. I'm looking forward to reading your next review. It's all in the details and you seem to have A good handle on reviews.
