RoMa Craft Wunderlust Petit Belicoso

-


Dear Reader... 
The RoMa Craft Tobac has known in the last years as a "secret tip" and it has also arrived in Switzerland... So it is time for a review....
When Skip Martin, the Ma in RoMa Craft, was visiting the German cigar manufacturer and distributor Schuster Zigarren, he got inspired by the warehouse full of tobacco. He included some of the tobacco from the Schuster inventory in the blend of the Wunderlust. The cigars were initially released just on the German market, but because of the great demand now is available in many countries....
Some details:

Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Factory: Fabrica de Tabacos NicaSueño S.A.
Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina
Binder: Indonesia Besuki
Filler: n/a
Length: 4 5/8
Ring Gauge: 54
Vitola: Petit Belicoso
I had read already a lot about this cigar and am very happy to finally hold it in my hands....
The Brazilian wrapper is rough looking, almost leathery, with some tooth but very fine, and it's a little bit oily but not shiny. The construction feels good, no underfilled or overfilled spots, nearly perfect. 
The cold cigar smells strongly of a combination of aromatic cedar, manure, raisins, earth and leather along with just a touch of black pepper. 

It starts out with a bang immediately after lighting, with flavors of bitter dark chocolate and creamy cashews easily taking the top spot, followed closely by notes of meatiness, cinnamon, creamy oak and freshly roasted espresso beans. I don't know what they mixed into the blend, but it feels like a mix of mexican, nicaraguan and brasil tobaccos, because the taste is very "dark and spicy.." 
The second half of the WunderLust brings a few new flavors including a new dominant flavor of milk chocolate but the big change is the cotton candy sweetness, which seems to keep increasing in strength until just after the halfway point, after which it slowly begins to lose distinctness. There is also a bit of bitterness from the bitter chocolate note which bothers me a little in addition to these beautiful sweet flavors, but for all Aficionados who love dark chocolate it is a very good choice...
The burn was always perfect and the draw features the perfect amount of resistance for my tastes. 
Overall it is a great cigar with perfect rolling quality, tons of smoke, and a very "dark" tasting profile. As a beginner, it is probably not the best choice because this cigar is very complex..... 
Thanks for reading..... 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 ...
