Tasting notes

Discover the Alfambra Seleccion Robusto Gordo, a cigar of Ecuadorian origin that boasts a generous format of 127 mm (5") in length and 23 mm (⅞") in diameter. Its wrapper, delicately crafted, presents a soft brown color that gives it a very appealing look. Upon handling, its texture reveals a slightly oily surface that immediately catches the eye.

At first contact, the pre-light aromas reveal themselves with simplicity. By sniffing the wrapper, you perceive notes of earth, coffee, and wood, promising an intriguing tasting journey. Upon lighting, these aromas unfold gently, with a subtle hint of honey beginning to emerge. Gradually, this aromatic palette becomes more complex, immersing you immediately in the experience.

On the palate, the cigar proves to be quite expressive with a blend of flavors that develops in three stages. The first third presents a creamy and earthy smoke, while the second third introduces a spicy dynamic thanks to the infusion of pepper notes. In the final part, a moderate bitterness mingles with wood and herbal aromas, never losing its balance. Although the draw may seem a bit difficult at times, the density of the smoke remains pleasant.

The finish offers a satisfying length in the mouth with a slight bitterness that slowly fades, giving way to a pleasant sweetness. This balance between strength and subtlety is what gives this cigar a certain personality. It stands out for its seductive potential among enthusiasts seeking a simple yet fascinating experience.

For optimal enjoyment, savor the Alfambra Seleccion Robusto Gordo during an evening with friends alongside a glass of red wine or a well-chilled blonde beer, perfect for complementing its warm and earthy aromas. This cigar will also find its place during a moment of relaxation after a busy day.
