2012 By Oscar San Andres

Oscar Valladares aged a dark, toothy Mexican Maduro wrapper to perfection and rolled it over a core of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers to create the 2012 by Oscar San Andres, the rich and chewy powerhouse of the series. Medium-to-full-bodied flavor beast focused on dark chocolate and earthy richness. A post-dinner classic for Maduro lovers who want a sophisticated, box-pressed smoke that delivers plenty of complexity for a very fair price.

Heavy notes of cocoa, black espresso, and charred oak anchor the profile, with a savory leathery sweetness that holds the finish together. A nice peppery nuance on the retrohale keeps the sweetness from being overwhelming. The box-press ensures a cool, slow burn and easy draw, making for a satisfying session from start to finish. The ultimate choice for a celebratory weekend smoke or night herf with fellow enthusiasts. If you value the depth of a properly fermented Maduro, the 2012 San Andres is your winner.
