This blends bring together select Viso, Seco and Ligero tobaccos for a dark, medium-bodied cigar of exceptional quality at a reasonable price. The wrapper on the “Capa Madura” is an dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro, sought for its semi-sweet picante flavor. Inside is a savory blend of Dominican long fillers complemented by a Dominican Criollo 98 binder leaf that bring some spice but does not over power this blend. The smoke is ultra-smooth and well-balanced, with a woody, herbal character, and a suggestion of sweetness on the finish.
