The cigar has a nice, oily dark wrapper and a shaggy, open foot. I really enjoyed the smoke output, draw, and flavor notes it produced. This is one you have to try. I don’t usually have time for a cigar of this vitola, so I’m glad I was able to sit down and enjoy it for this review. I’ll definitely make time for cigars that deliver this kind of experience.
The second third brought a zest bomb that really woke up the palate, with notes of earth, tea, chocolate, and spice. If that flavor profile sounds appealing to you, don’t sleep on this one.
Drawing inspiration from the whimsical “Sea-Monkeys”—novelty aquarium pets that captivated imaginations in the 1960s—La Sirena introduces the Super Sea Monkeys. This release playfully nods to both the brand’s oceanic theme and the nostalgic charm of these tiny aquatic creatures.
Featuring a Nicaraguan Cameroon Negro wrapper, this cigar is a rarity. Traditional Cameroon wrappers are known for their delicate nature, but this one breaks the mold—achieving a deep, dark maduro fermentation that is nearly unheard of.
Master blender Raul Lanuza developed a groundbreaking fermentation method to transform this Cameroon wrapper into a rich, ultra-maduro expression, unlocking layers of sweetness and complexity.
Made at Lanuza’s factory, this marks his first-ever release in the U.S. market. With a background at Drew Estate, Lanuza brings years of expertise to this groundbreaking blend. Indulge in a deeply sweet, stone fruit and caramel profile, complemented by the rich complexity of its Condega binder and Peruvian & Estelí fillers. A truly unique Cameroon maduro, crafted with innovation, expertise, and an unforgettable smoking experience in mind.
