The My Father La Opulencia Robusto hits your humidor with Nicaraguan swagger in a box-pressed 5?"x52 format. This $196.20/box gem features a dark Mexican San Andres wrapper they call "rosado oscuro" - basically the leather jacket of tobacco leaves. I'm still recovering from its 2018 #2 Cigar of the Year status, but let's cut through the hype.
Cold draw punches you with black pepper and burnt coffee grounds. Initial smoke carries baking spices - think nutmeg in a wood-fired oven. White pepper bite hangs around through the first inch like an overly enthusiastic salsa dancer.
Sweetness barges in unannounced. Molasses and dark chocolate dominate while the wrapper's earthiness keeps it from becoming cloying. Retrohale reveals a sneaky cinnamon note that makes your sinuses tingle.
Kulit dan kacang panggang menjadi bintang utama. Kekuatan merayap naik ke wilayah penuh badan - nikotin lebih keras daripada pengemudi taksi Managua. Inci terakhir mendapat mineral berat; saatnya menghabiskannya sebelum monster tar tiba.
Press kotak terasa substansial tanpa kaku. Hambatan tarikan sempurna - tidak perlu meninju. Abu bertahan kuat dalam segmen 1". Pembakaran luar biasa tetap rata kecuali sedikit canoing di sepertiga terakhir (blame my hasty light).
Pasangkan dengan tequila a?ejo tua untuk melengkapi rempah, atau kopi cold brew untuk memperkuat catatan coklat. Butuh kelembaban minimal 65% - kulit San Andres itu menjadi keropos saat kering.
