Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Robusto

-


The last time I find cigar samplers more and more interesting. Not only because I love trying new cigars, but sometimes I get lines they are not available in my country. In the days I bought a Joya de Nicaragua Selección Robusto sampler, and there is a line in it (Antano dark corojo) that I have never smoked .... So it's time for a review.
The Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo was introduced in New Orleans during a popular 2009 trade show.The beautifully constructed Dark Corojo is a brute, jam-packed with big boy tobaccos. The Corojo-seed wrapper is grown in Nicaragua, and has been carefully fermented to achieve its super-dark color and excessively oily sheen.The blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers contains plenty of ligero, aged three years prior to rolling. This cigar is very heavy in the hand when I compare it with the others in the sampler.
It smells very intensely of sweet raisins, cocoa and nutts. If I judged the smell it would surely get 9 out of 10 points. 
After lighting the cigar gives me exactly the taste that I expect from it:
deep tobacco flavors with rich notes of earth, cedar, pepper and cocoa. What a composition ... I would like to buy a box of it now.
When I got into the second third, almost forgot to write something. The cigar swept me away. In addition to the opening notes, a certain sour fruit has been added.. I will say blood orange... A little fruity a little creamy a little nutty a little spicy. Four way of tastes in a perfectly balance. I already try some of the Joya de nicaragua cigars but this is definitely one of the best ones. Towards the end, the cigar didn't change much (luckily) maybe a little bit more intense of the spices.
I will definitely buy a box of them and really recommend to try it!
Cheers

El Septimo Cigars

"Break the Rules and open the seventh sense..." El Septimo is a Swiss luxury cigar brand, with aged (between five and fifteen years) tobaccos from Costa Rica.All cigars are completely organic, with zero preservatives or chemicals added.As you can see a few examples on my picture, El Septimo has many different vitolas (they have already over 40 puros blends) from one of the smallest cigars in the world (Small Impact 2/56) to the big ones (Dark Ruby 6,3/68). The Collections differ on the blends of tobacco leaf, as well as the age of tobacco, but in my opinion the brand leaves nothing to be desired.All oscuro wrappers are grown in a high-altitude proprietary process, giving cigars a silky texture with a rich, deep shade and flavorsome leaf. El hesptimo has four Collections on the market: -The Diamond -The Luxus -The Time to travel  -The Alexandra (This Collection are designed and blended exclusively for Women's. The flavors, ranging from woody & intense with ...

Alec Bradley Gatekeeper Corona

Dear Reader....  This time I brought you a relatively new line from Alec Bradley, the Gatekeeper. Alec and Bradley Rubin first launched onto the scene in 2018 with the release of a small-batch project known as Blind Faith. And while this cigar was crafted with the mindset of offering a fresh perspective perhaps uncommon from parent brand Alec Bradley, it is the Gatekeeper that drives this concept home.  Gatekeeper is rolled in the Dominican Republic, partnering with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and his well-established Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory. I haven't smoked corona vitola for a long time, so I'm very happy that The Gatekeeper line has this format. The wrapper smells just awesome.... Leather, wood, nutts exactly what you expect from two of the best cigar manufacturer in the world.  After lighting, the first three words that I wrote down on my paper was: "fresh cedar spice, overtoasted bread(not burn but close) and earthiness .These three notes are recognizable from ...

Cavalier Black II Torpedo

The Cavalier cigars suprised me so much, that I have to review another line of them. This time I take the Black II Torpedo and try it out...  The first thing you notice is the awesome soft box pressed torpedo vitola witch feels very nice in the hand. The wrapper is rough to the touch, even for Mexican San Andrés, though the gold feels nice and smooth. The cold draw is surprisingly sweet with honey, dark chocolate and raisins...It smells really outstanding good. It is time to cut and light the cigar... It starts with a layer of woodiness noted by cedar and oak, and there is also a smooth pepper spiciness but really mild. Perfect draw and after the first paff's the burning is excellent. Into the first third I feel walnuts, toastiness, some cinnamon, earthiness and redwoods. Intresting taste combination but I have to say if you look at the cigars you expect exactly these flavors.(You get tons of smoke in this part) In the second third i have more or less the same tasting profile, but ...
