Gifted by a friend.

Location: This review was made indoors in a cigar lounge.

Information:
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Mexico
Filler: Dominican Republic
Origin: Dominican Republic

Factory: Tabacalera Díaz Cabrera (Dominican Republic)
Box: Sold in 14 count boxes.
Release: 2023
Availability: Limited Edition of 1400 boxes of 14 cigars.

Size: 7×52, Double Corona.

Wrapper: Milk chocolate brown, oily and smooth texture with small veins.

Construction: Fairly firm and even feel when lightly squeezed.

Cold draw: Oakwood and cocoa powder.

1st third: Starts with a subtitle toasted bread, walnuts and oakwood note.

2nd third: Not much has changed, it’s keeping on the level.

Burn: Burns fairly sharp with a firm but half stable half flaky white-ish ash.

Smoke: Medium voluminous smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue with a medium draw.

3rd third: Completely unchanged from start to finish, incredibly boring without any development.

Duration: 17:30-19:30, 2h.

Conclusion: A mild bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. For being such a large cigar to have no development or complexity could be seen by some as perfection but in my book this is exhausting and boring. This is for people who smoke cigars as an accessory not for enjoyment.

Result: In my book this is a 85 point cigar.
