Tasting notes

The A. Flores Gran Reserva Corojo Half Corona reveals itself in a majestic wrapper, with a dark brown color, almost shiny, that irresistibly draws the eye. The cigar offers a silky touch, with a well-rolled wrapper that inspires confidence. Its compact format of 88.9 mm (3½") with a diameter of 18.3 mm (¾") promises an immersive and satisfying smoking experience.

At the first puff, the aromas quickly unfold, revealing an explosion of black pepper worthy of a bold introduction. This spicy character soon transforms as nuances of chocolate and coffee join in, creating a flourishing harmony. The lighting also releases whiffs of cedar and nuts, enriching the olfactory experience and showcasing the complexity of the tobacco.

On the palate, the cigar dynamically evolves through its three thirds. The first is characterized by the strength of spices mingling with sweeter flavors of chocolate. As the experience progresses, the profile becomes more balanced with earthy notes and nutty accents that reveal themselves at a captivating pace. The smoke, both abundant and silky, ensures remarkable consistency from the start to the finish.

The finish offers a pleasant sensation, with good persistence and a slight sweetness that invites a second draw. The balance between strength and sweetness is remarkable, an aspect that makes this cigar a must-have for enthusiasts. This Half Corona stands out for its bold character while remaining accessible, making it a unique piece in the world of cigars.

Ideal for an afternoon tasting moment, this cigar pairs wonderfully with a rich coffee or a smooth whisky, fully exploiting its coffee and chocolate aromas. It’s the perfect opportunity to savor each puff in complete serenity.
