The Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Sonata Espressivo hits like a jazz solo in cigar form - 5 inches of Nicaraguan fire wrapped in box-pressed precision. This medium-full stogie packs 20 sticks per box at $234.36, featuring that signature AJ Fernandez construction with 50 ring gauge heft. Perfect for when you want bold flavors without the tongue-punch.
Cold draw gives black pepper and damp earth. Initial light brings charred oak and roasted coffee beans with white pepper retrohale. Thin blue smoke hangs lazy in the air. Burns arrow-straight through the first inch, ash holding firm like concrete.
Cocoa powder emerges at the 30-minute mark blending with espresso bitterness. Retrohale switches to cinnamon heat while main smoke carries leather undertones. Draw tightens slightly around band point - quick purge fixes airflow. Pair with black coffee to cut through the richness.
Last third amps up the voltage - dark chocolate and Brazil nut flavors dominate as nicotine creep begins. Cedar notes appear in final inch but most will ditch it before nubbing. Tar builds up past 90-minute mark, telling you when to call time.
