Let's talk about the Leon Jimenes Prestige Assortment - a 3-pack sampler showcasing Dominican craftsmanship in elegant black tubes. This mild-bodied collection features corona (5"×38), robusto (5"×50), and churchill (7"×47) sizes rolled with Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrappers. At $150 per 12-count box, it's perfect for exploring size variations before committing to full boxes.
The initial draws reveal roasted almond notes with creamy cedar undertones. Connecticut wrapper shows its signature smoothness - zero pepper bite but maintains enough sweetness to keep things interesting. Cold draw reminds me of fresh pencil shavings and raw cashews.
Caramelized sugar emerges alongside white pepper whispers. Burn line stays razor-sharp - credit to La Aurora's rolling expertise. The Nicaraguan filler adds depth without overwhelming mildness, creating subtle coffee bean aromas perfect with morning espresso.
Vanilla pod sweetness takes over with mineral freshness. Churchill size delivers cooler smoke despite length. Occasional tar buildup near band requires purging. Mild nicotine makes this ideal for slow Sundays rather than power-hour sessions.
Rolled at La Aurora's Dominican factory using Cibao Valley filler tobaccos. The Connecticut-seed wrappers develop delicate oil patterns under Yaque River Valley's microclimate. Combines traditional Cuban rolling techniques with Dominican soil's natural sweetness.
