Smoked Jun 28
This Nicaraguan stick offered a medium to full-bodied smoke. The Ecuadorian Habano Sun Grown Oscuro wrapper gave me subtle earthy notes of dark cocoa, and espresso flavors, complemented by a mild sweetness from the wrapper. The smoke also carried hints of earth and black pepper spice on the retrohale. Surprisingly, I didn’t detect any oak flavor. The mild box press was well-constructed without any issues. The smoke output was very good. Overall, this is a solid smoke with pepper and spice as prominent notes. Although it won the Cigar of the Year award in 2012, it wasn’t a cigar that resonated with me. It lacked the depth and complexity I was looking for.
