Tasting notes

The A. Flores El Criollito Short Gordo presents itself with an elegant Ecuadorian wrapper, marked by a slightly rough texture, offering an appealing visual aspect. Its construction is meticulous, and the color of the wrapper reveals earthy nuances, promising a unique experience from the very first observation.

Upon lighting, this cigar reveals a pleasant initial olfactory contact, with notes of flowers, wood, and subtle sweetness. As you inhale, hints of fresh grass and cocoa emerge, accompanied by a slight spicy nuance, creating a first complex evolution that awakens the senses and promises a delightful tasting adventure.

On the palate, the development translates into a remarkable aromatic progression across the three thirds. Flavors of hazelnuts and cocoa become more pronounced, evolving into a harmony between wood notes and slightly earthy touches. The balance between strength and sweetness is very good, providing a rich and creamy sensation with each draw, although the temperature may rise in the middle of the cigar.

The finish is distinguished by a pleasant sensation, with a medium length and beautiful persistence. Salivation and a slight residual sweetness recall the initial aromas, highlighting the unique character of this cigar.

Ideal for enjoying during a relaxing evening moment, this cigar would pair perfectly with a peaty whisky or a rich coffee to emphasize the complexity of the already well-presented aromas, thus creating an exceptional moment.
