When a Maduro wrapper from Nicaragua's Estelí valley teams up with AJ Fernandez's blending magic, you get this box-pressed powerhouse. The Impromptu Perfecto measures 6"x52, packing enough complexity to make your evening humidor jealous. At about $13 per stick, it's the thinking man's medium-full bodied smoke - perfect for when you want Nicaraguan punch without the palate fatigue.
The initial third hits with black coffee grounds and charred oak - classic Estelí earthiness dialed to 8/10 intensity. By mid-point, I detected caramelized banana peel (the good kind) with white pepper retrohale. Final third brings bittersweet cocoa powder and a mineral finish that lingers like awkward party guests.
Rest these at least 45 days - the Sumatra wrapper needs hydration equilibrium. Pair with cold brew coffee or añejo tequila to complement the earthy notes. Skip if you dislike pepper retrohales or prefer Connecticut-style smoothness. Box recommendation: 8/10 for experienced smokers craving structured Nicaraguan profiles.
