Oscar Valladares Raw Dog 5 x 60

The Oscar Valladares Raw Dog 5 x 60 presents itself as a singular work at first glance, without a cap and featuring a rustic wrapper in medium brown hues. The design of the band, made from tobacco scraps, is not only original but perfectly complements this colorful cigar. Its texture in hand is pleasant and engaging, promising a unique experience.

Upon first olfactory contact, you will be greeted by delicate pre-light aromas of cedar and spices. Upon lighting, the aroma quickly evolves into more intense notes, blending roasted coffee and earth, gradually becoming richer. This transition is smooth and captivating, showcasing the complexity of its aromatic bouquet.

On the palate, the evolution of flavors unfolds harmoniously through the three thirds. The first third reveals flavors of nuts and cedar, while the second introduces nuances of dark chocolate and toast, offering a perfect balance between richness and lightness. In the final third, more intense impressions of spices and earth enhance the profusion of flavors, creating a tasting experience that asserts itself with character.

The finish leaves a slightly woody and spicy imprint, and the length is deemed medium, perfect for prolonging the pleasure. The balance between strength and sweetness is very good, making this cigar accessible while being sophisticated. Its appeal lies in its originality, which stands out in the world of cigars.

The ideal moment to savor the Oscar Valladares Raw Dog is in the afternoon, accompanied by a refreshing drink like a Fassbrause Himbeere, which will beautifully complement the complexity of the aromas. Whether alone or in the company of friends, this cigar is a must-try by the fireside for an unforgettable experience.
