Aging Room Pura Cepa Rondo Cigar Review

The Aging Room Pura Cepa Small Batch Rondo offers a rich-tasting mix of nuts, cedar, and sweet spice on a long, creamy finish from end-to-end.

Impeccably rolled in a satiny, cinnamon brown wrapper, a firm draw at pre-light reveals wood and earth, plus a tart sweetness on the lips.

After the initial wave of charred wood and spice fades away, the Pura Cepa is nutty and somewhat floral. The profile transitions to a mix of dark chocolate, coffee and spice just before the halfway mark, then ends with traces of caramel and spice. Body and strength are medium to medium-full throughout.

Slow burning, even burning; the ash stacks neatly with a hairline carbon ring, and no relights are required. Flavors are balanced and consistent on a long, creamy finish. Smoked it down to 3/4 of-an-inch with zero bitterness. We can see why this gets high ratings; recommended for cigar smokers at every level of experience.
