Where it’s at: Made for the 8th anniversary of Rocky’s Tavicusa factory in Estelí, this dark, deftly handcrafted cigar offers a sweet, spicy, and earthy start. Some saltiness cuts-in on the dance, yet mixes well with the sweet spice. (Think salted caramel.) Oak and espresso notes arrive just past the midsection and everything’s in bloom. The cigar is creamy, well-balanced, and full-flavored, but transitions to a much headier smoke in the last act. Not far removed from the Rocky Patel Royale, and a must-try for smokers of bold Nicaraguan blends a la AJ Fernandez.
