My Rating: 8/10
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua
Ring Gauge: 52
While the wrapper leaf of this beautifully crafted cigar is harvested in Ecuador, the filler is a fine blend of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
The belicoso is full of cinnamon and dry fruit flavours with a bit of coffee beans and cedar. I found it to be a beautifully balanced smoke. Not complex by any means, but certainly not boring.
It took me roughly 45–60 minutes to complete, complimented by a brewed coffee with Kenyan beans.
