PDR 1878 Capa Sun Grown Double Magnum

Check out this hefty 60-ring gauge beast from PDR Cigars, nicknamed "Double Magnum" for its intimidating 6x60 parejo shape. Priced around $10 per stick in 20-count boxes, it delivers serious value for big-ring fans. The Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper looks like dark chocolate with a slight oily sheen, promising bold flavors. First puffs surprise with a smooth draw despite its massive girth - no need to fight this chonky boy.

Smoke Journey

First Third

The initial volley hits with black pepper and roasted coffee beans, softened by a caramel undertone. Smoke production impresses - thick clouds even with casual puffs. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the fat ring gauge.

Middle Third

Dominican Criollo tobaccos shine through with earthy leather and dark chocolate notes. Retrohale brings out baking spices like nutmeg. Watch the nicotine kick here - it's sneaky strong for a "medium" rating.

Final Third

Power surge alert! The last third amps up with espresso bitterness and black cherry sweetness dueling on your palate. Ash holds firm past two inches, though tar buildup starts affecting draw comfort around the nub.

Craftsmanship Notes

Rolled in the Dominican Republic's PDR factory, the sun-grown wrapper develops extra toothiness from extended fermentation. Double binder technique helps maintain structural integrity in this fat format. Minimal vein visibility shows careful leaf selection.
