New World Gobernador Review

Very nice smoke that just lacked a little bit of complexity, point wise. Mostly pepper and toast notes with short periods of more complex notes.

This is a cigar that both pepper lovers and flavor fans can enjoy. There is a fair amount of spice to it but it is ever changing in it’s delivery note…fighting it’s way through sweet and savory notes, so it’s not always that same pepper heat. The one sample had some burn issues, which effected the flavor… But the second was fantastic, very well constructed with a long (time), even burn.

Wrapper: Nicaraguan / Binder:  Nicaraguan (Jalapa) / Filler: Nicaraguan

Vitola: Toro/ Size: 6 1/2″x55

Factory: Tabacalera Fernandez S.A./ Country of Origin: Nicaragua

Fairly dense box press but slightly loose feel. Matte dark brown, well- hidden seams, very fine tooth grit.

Rich, earthy cocoa, light rye

Fresh baked pumpernickel and rye breads.

Takes over an inch of fighting through classic pepper bomb notes and thick, flaky stacks to reveal lightly sweet milk chocolate notes, followed by toasted breads. Somewhat short lived as it takes on a red pepper crostini profile into the next third.

Pepper heat turns to a honey cinnamon spice retro. With secondary notes of toasted, earthy breads finishing with a fairly mild hot sauce left on the palate.

Gets fairly complex in the final third! Beginning with an umami, like a mildly spiced Asian broth. Occasional sweet notes of honey and dinner roll. Followed by florals and amber. Eventually ending up with just a rich, classic, tobacco smoke.
