Heritage shows up nicely in Scherzo, one of the Rare Collection’s music-named sizes, rolled as a 5 1/2 x 55 Nicaraguan puro at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez under Rafael Nodal’s direction. Medium to full in body, Scherzo layers oak, cedar, white pepper, nuts, and a flicker of fruit and salt for a richer, more composed take on a broad-gauge smoke.
