Abe Flores, the founder and master blender extraordinaire for PDR cigars (Pinar Del Rio) whose factory resides in the Dominican Republic, is the maker of a delicious ultra- premium offering, Flores Y Rodriguez Connecticut Valley Reserve Azul. The company launched the first cigar in this line a year previous, the Flores Y Rodriguez Connecticut Valley Reserve Maduro, a rich full bodied smoke that had cigar fans clamoring for more. So they created the second blend in the line, the Azul, another wonderfully complex, full bodied treat that features a simply gorgeous Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado wrapper. The inner blend is a concoction of Dominican Corojo, Nicaraguan Condega Criollo and the binder is aged Jalapa leaf. These spectacular and complex smokes display notes of espresso, dark chocolate and dark berries, starting off just a tad peppery and then rounding off beautifully with a satisfying natural sweetness. These are available in four sizes – Robusto, Belicoso, Gran Toro and Figurado. They are also packaged in beautifully designed, limited edition, nineteen count, ceramic humidor jars, making for a great keepsake and a nice conversation piece for your home or office. If you want to try something amazingly different, add the FYR Azul to your cart today!
