This Nicaraguan sampler pack delivers a rollercoaster ride through Quesada and Plasencia's tobacco wizardry. At under $20 for four sticks, you get to explore different wrapper varieties from Segovia factory - perfect for figuring out which Casa Magna blend suits your palate. The robusto-sized cigars (around 5x50) pack medium to full-bodied punches.
First Third: Immediate black pepper kick with toasted almonds. The Jalapa leaf gives mineral notes that linger like gunflint sparks. Smoke output stays moderate - no choking clouds here.
Middle Third: Dark chocolate bitterness balances the sweet maple syrup undertones. Watch for that signature Nicaraguan espresso note creeping in around the halfway point. Ash holds solid with clean burn line.
Final Third: Charred oak takes over with baking spice accents. The Dominicano blend develops caramelized sugar sweetness to counterbalance leathery base. Tap off before last inch to avoid tar buildup.
Rolled in Nestor Plasencia's Nicaraguan hub using Estelí valley tobaccos. Volcanic soil gives the filler leaves their mineral punch, while Jalapa valley wrappers add sweetness. These sticks need at least 2 weeks humidor rest to mellow the initial spice spike.
Perfect for pairing with espresso or dark rum. First-time smokers should start with the Claro wrapper, while veterans might prefer the Oscuro's bolder profile. Keep matches handy - the tight roll needs proper toasting.
