Aladino Connecticut Santi

The Aladino Connecticut Santi, hailing from Ecuador, reveals itself in an elegant format with its 139.7mm length and 12.7mm diameter. The wrapper presents a rich and shiny color, while its texture is smooth to the touch. Its overall presentation evokes a careful balance and a promise of aromatic complexity.

Upon the first olfactory contact, this cigar unveils a delicate blend of floral aromas, reminiscent of the sweetness of Ecuadorian blossoms, accompanied by earthy and woody notes. Upon lighting, a hint of pepper sneaks in, adding an intriguing dimension to the ensemble, which evolves into deeper nuances of bitter cocoa, enriched with subtle herbal accents.

On the palate, the experience is marked by an aromatic progression where flavors of earth and wood succeed one another, supported by hints of cocoa and hazelnut. As the thirds unfold, there is a noticeable increase in the strength of the aromas, with a more pronounced presence of roasted notes and a pleasant density without becoming overwhelming.

The finish offers a moderate persistence, marked by a slight bitter taste and nutty nuances that linger. The balance between strength and sweetness is well mastered, giving this cigar a unique character that is both accessible and intriguing.

This cigar will be ideal for an afternoon tasting, paired with a light coffee that will enhance its pre-light aromas without dominating the experience.
