Tasting notes
The Villa Zamorano Reserva Expreso, originating from Honduras, reveals itself under an elegant guise. Each cigar, measuring 88.9 mm (3½") in length and 20.6 mm (¾") in diameter, is a true visual delight thanks to its oily wrapper and well-defined veins. The presentation highlights a distinctive red secondary band, adding a touch of sophistication to its appearance.
From the very first contact, the olfactory richness unfolds. Pre-light aromas of coffee and wood are perceived, supported by a gentle creaminess that will emerge upon lighting. As you begin to smoke, notes of spices and nuts develop, creating a complex and evolving initial phase.
On the palate, the cigar is characterized by its remarkable balance. The first third opens with flavors of roasted coffee and wood, with a creamy texture that envelops the palate. Midway through the journey, nuances of chocolate and nuts come into play, enriching the experience and adding depth to the character. In the final third, the woody flavor dominates, while remaining delicately harmonized with the previous notes, offering a consistent and satisfying experience.
The finish is particularly noteworthy, with a mouthfeel of medium length and a balance between strength and sweetness that will delight enthusiasts. The residual sweetness of cream and spices leaves a delicate imprint that invites you to savor each puff. What makes the Villa Zamorano so unique is its ability to combine richness and lightness in a single format.
To fully enjoy this cigar, I recommend a tasting at the end of the day, accompanied by a strong coffee or a fine whisky that will accentuate the chocolatey and spicy flavors. It is the ideal setting to appreciate every aspect of this aromatic marvel that is sure to captivate your senses.
