Tasting notes
The A. Flores Gran Reserva Corojo Robusto cigar features a golden and shiny wrapper, a reflection of a carefully selected leaf from the Dominican Republic. Upon handling, you will be captivated by its silky texture, promising a rich experience. The diameter, although unspecified, perfectly complements its generous 127 mm (5") format, offering an imposing and elegant appearance.
From the first contact, pre-light aromas of wood reveal themselves, accompanied by a subtle note of vanilla. Upon lighting, a scent of coffee intensifies, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere. The first third is dominated by these olfactory notes that evolve into sweeter nuances, reminiscent of honey, further enriching the character of this cigar.
On the palate, the development across the three thirds is fascinating. In the second third, vanilla and the sweetness of honey intensify, with a beautiful harmony of walnut aromas. This is supported by a woody base that brings coherence to the whole, although the draw is somewhat challenging. The progression of flavors is ample, allowing you to savor each nuance.
The finish leaves you with a pleasant sensation, marked by a residual sweetness that mingles with a slight bitterness. The average finish and the good balance between strength and sweetness make this cigar both an accessible and refined choice. What makes it unique is its ability to aggregate rich flavors while maintaining this subtlety.
The ideal moment to enjoy this cigar would be a sunny afternoon, accompanied by a full-bodied black coffee or even a sweet spirit that harmonizes with the sweet and woody notes.
