This box-pressed figurado from Honduras packs a serious punch in its 6.5"x52 frame. Wrapped in oily Mexican San Andrés maduro leaf, it's become a go-to for smokers craving bold flavors without breaking the bank. The torpedo shape delivers concentrated smoke perfect for post-dinner sessions when you've got time to savor.
First Third: Instant pepper kick through the nose with bitter dark chocolate on the tongue. Draw starts tight but opens up after ½ inch. Ash holds solid despite box-press shape.
Middle Third: Earthy espresso notes take over, sweetened by molasses undertones. Smoke output doubles - keep your ashtray close. Burn stays razor-sharp without touch-ups.
Final Third: Charred oak emerges with nicotine buildup. Retrohale brings raisin sweetness balancing the intensity. Stop at 1.5" unless you're chasing the buzz.
The triple cap withstands multiple cuts - no unwrapping disasters. Oily wrapper feels slightly bumpy but hides minimal veins. Box-press makes it roll-proof in humidors. Give 65% RH for best draw.
Pair with bourbon or espresso martinis. Avoid morning sessions - the nicotine wallop lingers. Perfect for late-night conversations when you want flavor without concentration demands.
