The La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No 3 comes in a classic 6x50 Robusto shape, wrapped in golden-brown Ecuadorian Habano leaf grown in volcanic soil. Originally released in 2008 and revamped in 2020, this Nicaraguan puro from My Father's factory delivers medium-full intensity perfect for transitioning smokers. At $225 per box of 25, it's priced as a premium daily smoke rather than special occasion stick.
Opens with roasted almond sweetness and cinnamon spice, accompanied by faint black pepper on retrohale. Medium smoke output with effortless draw. Ash holds firm for 1.5" before dropping.
Transitions to darker profiles - espresso grounds and semi-sweet chocolate emerge. Secondary notes of damp earth and cedarwood develop. Burn line stays sharp without corrections.
Intensity peaks with mineral notes and cocoa powder dryness. Some smokers report slight bitterness past the band, recommending a 70-minute smoking window before nicotine buildup.
Rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí using tobaccos aged 2+ years. The Habano wrapper undergoes extended fermentation to achieve golden-brown color without full Maduro treatment. Boxes feature upgraded 2020 branding while maintaining traditional Cuban-inspired design elements.
