1073. Foundation Olmec Maduro Robusto

Bought from Cigarworld, Germany.

Location: This review was made in a cigar lounge.

Information:
Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Maduro
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Origin: Nicaragua

Factory: Tabacalera A.J. Fernández Cigars de Nicaragua (Nicaragua)
Box: Sold in 12 count boxes.
Release: 2022
Availability: Regular Production.

Size: 5×50, Robusto (Box Pressed).

Wrapper: Coffee bean dark brown, oily and smooth texture with tiny veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Oakwood.

1st third: Starts with a regular dark roasted coffee, oakwood bark, walnuts, hazelnuts and blood sausage spices with a bit of that irony taste.

2nd third: Luckily it looses that blood sausage and irony flavour in this part. A cinnamon and nutmeg spice steps in instead.

Burn: Burns hasty and 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: Cacao powder is dominant in this final part.

Duration: 16:55-17:45, 50min.

Conclusion: A full bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. It’s a good Maduro cigar, but it lacks that complexity making the regular version more interesting.

Result: In my book this is a 89 point cigar.
