Gifted by a friend.
Location: This review was made indoors in Mellgrens Fine Tobacco’s cigar lounge.
Information:
Wrapper: Honduran Corojo
Binder: Honduran Criollo Viso
Filler: Honduran Corojo Corona Ligero & Criollo Ligero
Size: 7×70, Toro Gigante.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate and smooth with tiny veins.
Construction: Fairly firm and even when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood.
1st third: Starts with a creamy and nutty note.
2nd third: Hints of pepper on the tongue otherwise the same.
Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm and stable whiteish ash.
Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue and a light draw.
3rd third: Keeps the same from part 2.
Duration: 17:20-18:50, 1h 30min.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. If you want a super balanced cigar with absolutely no changes from start to finish this is for you. I just wished for a more existing experience that can be found in their Robusto for example.
Result: In my book this is an 87 points.
