#nowsmoking @famoussmokeshop: 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.
Factory: Plasencia Cigars S.A. (Estelí, Nicaragua)
Size: 5″ x 50
Strength: Medium – Full
Wrapper/Binder/Filler: Nicaragua (Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Ometepe)
Dominant Flavors: Roasted nuts, cedar, sweet spice
Where it’s at: Seamlessly rolled in a mouthwateringly oily wrapper. Following a cold draw mix of leather and nutmeg, the cigar is nutty and sweet to start with plenty of dense, creamy smoke. The burn is markedly even with a hairline carbon ring (no relights required). Flavors are balanced and consistent on a long, creamy finish. The Rondo hit the bullseye on all counts. Smoked it down to 3/4 of-an-inch with zero bitterness. Highly recommended for cigar smokers at every level of experience.
