Indulge in the rich, bold character of our San Andrés Maduro cigar. Wrapped in a dark, oily San Andrés Maduro leaf, it offers deep notes of cocoa, espresso, and a hint of natural sweetness. The blend is further enriched by a carefully selected combination of Nicaraguan fillers: Seco Jalapa for a balanced smoothness, Ligero Jalapa for an elevated, robust profile, and Viso Estelí to round out the complexity. All of these are held together by a flavorful Indonesian Sumatra binder, adding a touch of earthiness and depth.

This cigar is perfect for those who appreciate a full-bodied smoke with complexity and a lingering finish.

Flavors

1st :

The initial puffs of this cigar are of warming spice, like from allspice and clove.

Sweet notes of milk chocolate, along with fruits of blood orange, red apple, and Asian pear, bring this out. It finishes with notes like celery and a smoky note like hickory.

2nd:

The second third of the cigar offers a deeper flavor of coffee, mahogany, dark cherry, baker’s chocolate, and sun-dried tomato.

The spices continue, adding coriander.

3rd:

The last third has more richness of the coffee and woods, along with plum, and more notes of baker's chocolate now.

The Draw :

I made a straight cut and encountered resistance; I could not get a good draw at first.

After the draw was constant and smooth, with no ristance to it, I purged a few times.

The Burn :

The burn is consistent and even, but once lit, it does not need to be relit and does have a high smoke output

The Appearance :

The wrapper is mostly smooth, with some shine and oil.

It does have a closed foot and pig’s tail

It is a full-bodied cigar with a little nicotine content.

Final Thoughts:

This cigar offers no complexity and is really in a loss of ways a three- to five-note cigar.

It is mediocre and has no real depth
