I would bet a hefty sum of cash this cigar was made by one of the masters of the craft. Now, the draw was a tad snug on both samples and each required a minor touch-up but other than that about as close to construction perfection as one could ask for in a cigar.
Of note, this is not my favorite flavor profile but the sheer number of different flavors popping out of nearly every puff was so unique!
Retrohale Notes: Floral Pepper & Hints of Cocoa (1st Half) and Clean Black Pepper (2nd Half)
Average Smoke Time: 1 Hour 21 Minutes
Pairing Recommendations: Highly recommend a deep whiskey or scotch, maybe even rum to coat the palate and meld with this heavily evolved profile!
This Nicaraguan puro contains rare medio tiempo in the filler. Medio Tiempo is produced in very small quantities at the very top of the plant above the ligero leaves. This leaf provides depth and structure to the blend as well as a taste like no other. Released in small allotments a few times a year, this cigar is as rare as it is special.
