Tasting notes
The Astoria de Nicaragua Classic Double Corona features a silky wrapper and an impeccable texture that is pleasing to the touch. Its generous dimensions of 177.8 mm in length and 19.8 mm in diameter make it a visually striking piece. The band with golden reflections adds a touch of sophistication to this Nicaraguan puro.
Upon first contact, notes of fresh grass and damp stone awaken, giving way to an even richer aroma upon lighting. From the very first puffs, nuances of earth and wood assert themselves, accompanied by a slight hint of black pepper. The transition between the thirds is marked by a harmonious evolution of the aromatic palette.
On the palate, this cigar reveals itself, initially mild, then intensifying just right. The development of flavors is well-balanced, with a blend of hazelnut and cocoa that subtly marries with the woody aromas. Each third brings a beautiful complexity while maintaining a pleasant smoking coherence. The smoke volume is medium, allowing one to enjoy all the aromatic nuances without feeling overwhelmed.
The finish is characterized by a medium length, where a slight bitterness appears but quickly fades to leave a lingering sweetness. This good balance between strength and sweetness makes the Astoria a truly interesting cigar that will appeal to enthusiasts in search of novelty.
This cigar is best enjoyed in the late afternoon, accompanied by a black tea or a light coffee, to highlight its underlying notes and enrich your tasting experience.
