Victor Calvo Calibre Natural 70

The Victor Calvo Calibre Natural 70, with its impressive length of 177.8 mm (7") and a diameter of 27.8 mm (1⅛"), immediately captures attention. Its wrapper from Australia features a slightly shiny texture, sprinkled with fine veins, indicating a certain quality. In hand, the cigarillo feels firm and well-rolled, promising an extended smoking experience.

From the first olfactory contact, a gentle floral sensation is felt, mingled with an intriguing sweet touch, almost syrupy. Upon lighting, there is a slight hint of wood with a subtle note of coffee. The complexity is discreet, developing a simple aromatic footprint that settles on the palate, but may lack depth for some aficionados.

On the palate, the cigarillo evolves smoothly. The wood aromas slowly develop, with notes of coffee and floral in the background. As the draws progress, a slight bitterness emerges, influencing a seamless tasting experience. The presence of chocolate and a hint of grass towards the end adds an interesting nuance, albeit sometimes fleeting.

The finish leaves a slightly bitter yet sweet sensation, with a medium finish that invites quiet reflection. The balance of flavors, while present, may prove less pronounced for seasoned smokers. This lingering sweetness concludes a rather soothing journey.

To fully appreciate the Victor Calvo Calibre Natural 70, choose an opportune moment in your evening, accompanied by a sweet drink, perhaps a glass of light whisky, to contrast with its aromatic sweetness.
