Tasting notes

The Victor Calvo Fuerte F3 presents itself with a smooth Ecuadorian wrapper and a pleasant texture to the touch. Its length of 177.8 mm (7") and diameter of 21.4 mm (⅞") give it an imposing stature. Visually, the wrapper subtly shines, promising a delightful experience.

From the first contact, pre-light aromas of leather and slight herbaceous notes emerge, teasing your senses. Upon lighting, these aromas open up to a woody profile accompanied by white pepper, heralding a rich aromatic journey. The first evolution reveals an intense spicy base with a distinct emphasis on woody notes.

On the palate, the development of flavors is harmonious throughout the three thirds. There is a continuous progression between woody notes and hints of leather, with a slight spike of spiciness in the middle of the tasting. Although the aromatic profile tends towards a certain linearity, it remains appreciably coherent, offering an enriching tasting experience with each draw.

The finish leaves us with a pleasant sensation, featuring a medium finish and a salivation that invites you to continue the experience. This cigar demonstrates a very good balance between strength and smoothness, a characteristic that makes it unique and memorable.

Ideal for an evening tasting, this cigar pairs perfectly with a peated whisky, creating a sublime harmony between the spicy notes of the cigar and the depth of the whisky.

Community impressions

Praised by enthusiasts, this cigar offers a rich and well-balanced experience. Its aromas of leather and wood, accompanied by notes of pepper, captivate with their complexity. Smokers appreciate its medium strength, well-controlled, but some note a slight aromatic monotony at the lighting. Overall, a solid choice for fans of balanced cigars.
