This Connecticut-wrapped Robusto from PDR's flagship series brings subtle elegance in a compact 5x52 format. Priced at $302.54 per box of 24, each cigar features a golden Ecuadorian wrapper stripped of floral impurities during fermentation - the "Desflorado" process that defines this blend.
First Third: Toasted almonds burst through the initial draw, cushioned by creamy cashew undertones. The Connecticut leaf leaves trace minerals like wet stone on the retrohale.
Midpoint: Dominican Olor binder emerges with damp tobacco leaf aroma, pairing with Nicaraguan filler's white pepper tingle. Smoke density increases to medium output.
Final Inches: Leather and walnut skins dominate as the blend's Dominican core shines. Mild nicotine accumulation suggests stopping at 1-inch nub for optimal experience.
The matte-finish wrapper lacks obvious oils but feels like worn suede to touch. Triple caps unravel cleanly with punch cutters. Our sampled box maintained 64% humidity for 45 days prior to smoking - optimal conditions revealing 1/8" variance in combustion lines.
