Wrapper is a Sun Grown Nicaraguan (Jalapa Valley)

Binder is Nicaraguan

Filler Nicaraguan

Body, medium to Full

This box pressed cigar has very smooth appearance with relatively no vein properties to the wrapper, a pigtail tops of this beauty.   A Casa Magna ring with a light butter nut yellow color and a foot ring designating the Domus Magnus limitada label as well is present.

The feel of this stogie is medium firm to the touch.

Pre light draw yields no hint of the the notes to follow.  Initially, pepper is notable.  Not an overbearing pepper but pepper none the less, especially when nosehaled.  Hints of chocolate and a subtle fruityness (unknown) are evident as well.   The pepper almost immediately subsides and becomes non existent through the first third.  The chocolate and fruity notes are the predominate.

By midpoint, hints of leather a touch of nut is also apparent.  Still the chocolate lingers on the lips throughout

The burn of this stogie is very straight, and it produces a considerable amount of smoke and has an effortless draw.  The ash is light and drops off easily.  This is what I expected when the feel of the cigar was not extremely tight, firm but not tight.

By the bottom third, the nuttyness has become predominant and the chocolate and fruit are simply nuances.  The leather is just in the background but holds on.

Overall this is a smooth and very special cigar.  It burns wonderfully and evolves from end to end.

The price point for a limited edition cigar like this would be expected to be much higher but at about 9 bucks WOW!  Definately a recommend, with two thumbs up!

Sit Back relax and have a Cigar!

Flor de Selva Robusto, cigar review

flor-de-selva-robustoThis is a special cigar review, as this stogie was brought to me by a good friend directly from Honduras.  So I immediately felt compelled to light it up and giv e it a review.

This stogie is a robusto, 50 x5

wrapper: connecticut

Filler: honduras

Binder honduras

A mild cigar, with a pre-light draw that is a bit woody.

A very nice draw was immediately evident.

A third of the way in to this cigar the burn was perfect and the taste mild, a hint of pepper but very slight.  This cigar is smooth and could be a great morning stogie to enjoy with a cup of joe.

About half way down and the taste, body and finish remained consistent.  No real change was notable in the strength either.  This is an even steven cigar.  There is no denying its smoothness and very pleasant draw.  But what I enjoyed the most was the missing acidic tang found in many mild stogies.

Overall a great Sunday morning cigar

Thanks Tony!
