This cigar had a very oily and veiny wrapper with very few imperfections. The cold draw and body tastes were unique to anything I have had before. On initial light up you get a very minerally ash and pepper taste that quickly fades off into rich bready flavors. The transitions between the thirds are very apparent and the combinations of flavors remained pleasant throughout. This cigar would pair well with raisins, chocolate espresso beans, or a lightly peated scotch.
In 2012, Edgar Julián Sued established his first brand, Campesino, in collaboration with Chico Rivas and his Manufactura Rivas factory.
