Tasting notes
The Dominican Santiago Selection DSS Double Corona is a true work of art, evoking the wonders of Ecuador with a refined wrapper enriched with captivating nuances. Its impressive length of 190 mm, combined with a generous diameter, makes this beautiful cigar a perfect companion for an extended tasting session. The texture of the wrapper is soft to the touch, while presenting a neat appearance, promising a pleasant experience from the very first handling.
Upon the first olfactory contact, you will be charmed by a blend of woody and slightly sweet notes, pleasantly accented by hints of spice. Upon lighting, these impressions develop to reveal a discreet complexity: the smooth wood harmonizes beautifully with nuances of nuts, promising a fascinating tasting experience. The transition between the aromas is subtle, offering a measured evolution without abrupt changes.
On the palate, the cigar evolves through three thirds in a balanced manner. The beginning is light with multidimensional flavors but tends to concentrate around woody and nut flavors, while the finish reveals notes of spice, with a slight bitterness. The aromatic progression remains simple yet coherent, providing a sense of comfort, perfect for fans of mild cigars.
The finish stands out with a memorable mouthfeel, featuring a medium duration that offers moderate persistence. The balance between strength and sweetness is preserved throughout the experience. This cigar distinguishes itself by its apparent simplicity, yet reflects a finesse that will enchant the subtle and discerning smoker.
This cigar is ideal for a relaxing break in the mid-afternoon, accompanied by a glass of sweet wine or a light coffee that enhances its pre-light aromas without overpowering them. You will appreciate this moment of tranquility with the Dominican Santiago Selection DSS Double Corona, a true tribute to the craftsmanship of Ecuadorian master torcedores.
