Matilde Serena cigars are the mildest selection in the José Seijas stable. The eye-catching aqua & gold bands are a real standout and surround a well-balanced blend of perfectly-aged Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, Dominican binder, and a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The smoke is ultra creamy, mild-plus to medium in body, and strikingly complex, issuing a mix of earth, nuts, cocoa, espresso, oak, citrus, sweet tobacco, and pleasant floral notes.
Matilde Serena is presented in boxes of 20 cigars and flawlessly handcrafted in four popular shapes: Corona, Robusto, a 54-ring Toro Bravo, and a 60-ring "Grande." Plus, for the level of quality you're getting - and it's up there with many of the best luxury cigars - the price is very reasonable.
This selection is ideal for new cigar smokers who aren't ready for a stronger smoke but want to know how a more complex cigar tastes. For that matter, seasoned smokers should have a ball with this cigar, especially as a "first cigar of the day" smoke. In Spanish, "serena" is synonymous with "calmness," "relaxation," and "tranquility," and isn't that what enjoying a great cigar is really all about? Discover the taste created by one of the world's most respected cigar masters, José Seijas, by adding a box of Matilde Serena to your premium collection.
Excellent cigar, especially for the price point ! Firm, well-made, Smokes slowly but easy draw. I don t usually smoke the smaller ring guages, but this one was really outstanding. Would easily be a go to cigar for me! It s a beautiful little cigar. Draws easily, burns consistently. Well-made, firm, does not come apart in your mouth. To me, it seemed to have a bit of a sweet taste and after taste. My palate is not well developed enough to sort out the spicy or flowery elements. But the aroma was wonderful. All I ever looked for in a cigar. I just wish they made it in a lancera length. I think this cigar would make a great lancera.
