Buena Vista Araperique Robusto

The Buena Vista Araperique Robusto, hailing from Ecuador, stands out with its sophisticated design and pleasing dimensions of 127 mm (5") in length and 19.8 mm (¾") in diameter. The vibrant-colored wrapper promises a high-quality smoking experience. Upon handling, the texture is fine and silky, while the reflections of the wrapper add a touch of elegance to this cigar.

At the first olfactory contact, you will be greeted by pre-light aromas of wood and pepper that reveal themselves upon lighting. The sweet notes of nuts blend harmoniously, bringing an enchanting complexity. The aromatic evolution intensifies in the first few minutes, where coffee gradually makes its entrance, enriching the olfactory profile.

On the palate, this cigar offers a fascinating evolution through its three thirds. The first is characterized by flavors of pepper and wood, while the second unveils creamier nuances, accompanied by a hint of spices. Finally, the third third concludes with notes of honey and coffee, providing a beautiful roundness and coherence to the experience.

The finish is marked by a soft and pleasant sensation, where the slight sweetness of the finish leaves a refined texture. With a very good balance between strength and roundness, the Buena Vista Araperique Robusto distinguishes itself by its ability to captivate enthusiasts while offering a perfectly medium finish.

Ideal for an afternoon tasting, this cigar pairs beautifully with a glass of whisky, particularly an Oban 14, thus highlighting the subtleties of the aromas.
