Straight outta the Dominican Republic comes this Connecticut-wrapped treat dressed in silky Ecuadorian wrapper. At 5x50 Robusto size, it delivers 60 minutes of creamy goodness that even newer smokers can handle. The $135/box price makes it an affordable daily driver.
Pre-light sniff reveals hay and cashew notes. The dry pull tastes like sweetened wheat toast - clean but not boring.
Creamy smoke with distinct walnut shell flavor dominates. Retrohale brings out cinnamon zing mixing with cashew butter texture. Combustion stays razor-sharp with medium smoke output.
Cocoa powder emerges through the nuttiness. Pepper kicks up to 3/10 intensity - just enough to make your tongue tingle without coughing. Ash holds strong in 1-inch segments.
Leather and baking spices take over. A touch of bitterness creeps in past the band but gets balanced by residual sweetness. Needs purges at 55-minute mark to avoid tar buildup.
Pair with honey lattes to amplify the nutty core. Dry-box for 48 hours if your humidity runs above 65%. The Ecuadorian wrapper tends to swell in tropical climates - store these separately from stronger cigars.
