Filler: Nicaragua
Origin: Nicaragua
Factory: AJ Fernandez (Nicaragua)

Availability: Regular Production.
Size: 5×56, Robusto Grande (Soft Boxpressed).
Wrapper: Coffee bean brown, coarse texture with tiny veins.
Construction: A little giving but even feel when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood.
1st third: Starts with cedarwood, walnuts with its shells, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and dried citrus. A drying feeling is covering the mouth.
2nd third: Bitter dark coffee notes take the forefront in this part together with pepper spice.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable white-ish ash.
Smoke: Voluminous smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue with a light draw.
3rd third: Keeps the same from part 2.
Duration: 17:55-18:55, 1h.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium to full strength profile. It’s a good experience, just a bit lackluster in the flavour development.
Result: In my book this is a 87 point cigar.
