This Nicaraguan puro surprises with its creamy vibes wrapped in a 6"x60 Magnum format. Blending Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade leaf aged over three years with spicy Estelí fillers, it rolls out a smooth ride priced at $231.39 for 20 sticks. Perfect for those chasing mellow mornings without sacrificing that Nicaraguan kick.
The cold draw delivers almond skins and damp cedar. Initial puffs coat the tongue with whipped cream texture, carrying cashew butter and faint citrus zest. Smoke output stays modest - about 30% less dense than typical Nicaraguans.
Toasted wheat emerges alongside roasted coffee beans. The retrohale shows black pepper specs that prick without burning. Ash holds firm for 1.5" segments, though some canoeing appears unless rotated every 3-4 draws.
Leather notes creep in at the 45-minute mark as the smoke turns warmer. Last inch brings mushroom earthiness with increased tar buildup - best to nub at 1.5" remaining. Total smoke time clocks 85-95 minutes.
Packing density varies - test the squeeze before cutting. Most samples show slight give near the foot. Use V-cut for optimal airflow with this 60-ring gauge. Triple cap unravels cleanly when punched.
Peaks at 6-8 months humidor time. Beyond 1 year, loses citrus brightness but gains baking spice depth. Not recommended for long-term storage beyond 18 months - earthy tones dominate too heavily.
