Sinistro El Burro Maduro

Classic cigar smoke with light nuances. Sweet & Spicy. One sample had a much tighter draw. Very A.J. Fernandez-esque smoke with a hard spice that was balanced out with a richness.

Working with storied factories like Artista and La Aurora, the Sinistro Cigars brand has amassed a large and growing following almost exclusively through word of mouth. Founded by James Agopian and Coleman Fine, Sinistro strives to put out cigars that people not only talk about but repeatedly stock their humidors with. Always looking to play with what our expectations of a cigar can be, Agopian is constantly blending new and different combinations of some of the best tobaccos available today.
