Let's talk about the Leaf Sumatra Sixty Gordo - this 6x60 parejo comes wrapped in actual tobacco leaves like a rustic gift. At $10.35 per stick in 20-count bundles, this Honduran puro delivers medium-bodied smoke perfect for 90-minute sessions. The oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper conceals Nicaraguan/Honduran fillers that promise cedar and nutty flavors. I'm getting coffee ground aromas just holding the cigar!
Cold draw reveals damp earth sweetness. Initial puffs bring cedar shavings and roasted cashews with subtle molasses. Smoke output leans moderate - no chimney effect here. The burn line stays razor-sharp despite the 60 ring gauge.
Flavors intensify with black pepper spice and bitter cocoa. Noticeable coffee bean acidity develops, balanced by walnut skin tannins. Retrohale shows toasted bread crust. Ash holds firm at 1.5" segments.
Leather and mineral notes dominate as nicotine builds. Charred meat savoryness appears unexpectedly. Requires more frequent purges past the band point. Stopped at 75-minute mark with 2" remaining due to tar buildup.
The novelty leaf wrapper peeled cleanly revealing minimal veins. Triple cap held firm during V-cut. Draw resistance measured medium-firm - no plugging but requires deliberate puffing. Smoke temperature stayed cool until final third.
At $10/stick, competes favorably with other Honduran bundles like Camacho. Better construction than similarly priced Gurkhas. Not quite Liga Privada refinement but offers decent complexity. Ideal for:
