Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Size: 5″ x 50, box pressed Robusto
Strength: Full
Wrapper: 2003-vintage Indonesian Sumatra
Binder & Filler: Habano Dominicano
Dominant Flavors: Earth, sweet cedar, ground espresso
Where it’s at: Initial notes of nuts and cedar to start. Aroma is sweet and spicy. Further-along, a tangy berry note teases the palate as the smoke segues to flavors of sweet cedar and earth. The finish is long with a smack of pepper. At the midpoint, earth and cedar remain dominant as ground espresso enters the mix. The retrohale is impressively creamy in the early stages, while sharp pepper lingers in the nose later on. Full-flavored, consistently well-balanced, and curiously complex.
