Tasting notes
The wrapper of the Traveler Maduro Düsseldorf International, a cigar of Mexican origin, showcases a magnificent *maduro* color that almost borders on darkness. Its smooth and slightly oily wrapper reveals a refined texture, while the simple yet elegant band perfectly complements this artisanal masterpiece. Its generous vitola of 152.4 mm (6") fits comfortably in hand and promises an extended experience.
Upon the first olfactory contact, the cold releases powerful pre-light aromas of *earth* and *dark chocolate*, accompanied by woody notes and a hint of *black pepper*. Upon lighting, these aromas intensify, unveiling a rich and varied olfactory palette. The initial puffs are marked by a beautiful complexity, blending nuances of *cocoa* and a slight *cream*, which are particularly enticing.
On the palate, the progression of flavors unfolds across the three thirds of the cigar. The first third begins with earthy and spicy notes, dominated by *black pepper*, while a subtle sweetness makes its appearance. Midway through, one can appreciate a pleasant development towards creamier flavors, without ever losing sight of the integrity of the original profile. The final third lingers with *woody* and *chocolatey* notes, offering a satisfying balance between strength and sweetness.
The finish leaves us with a medium sensation in the mouth, featuring a pleasant slight bitterness and a creamy note that beckons you for another puff. Its balance between strength and flavor, despite a moderate complexity, makes this cigar an accessible yet not mundane experience.
The ideal moment to enjoy the Traveler Maduro would be in the late afternoon, accompanied by a sparkling beverage such as a fassbrause citron, which enhances the sweetness and chocolatey aromas of this wonderful creation. You will certainly appreciate every puff that comes your way during your serene smoking session.
