Tasting notes

The Helvada 70 (Gordo Claro) catches the eye with its unique presentation. With dimensions of 139.7 mm (5½") in length and a diameter of 23.8 mm (⅞"), it offers a comfortable grip. The wrapper is not specified, adding an air of mystery and intrigue, promising an experience rich in discoveries.

Upon the first olfactory contact, pre-light, it reveals spicy pepper aromas, foreshadowing a flavorful tasting experience. Upon lighting, notes of earth and cocoa come into play, enriched by subtle hints of hazelnut and leather. This olfactory evolution proves promising, inviting the taster to delve deeper.

On the palate, the cigar unveils a pleasant progression across its three thirds. From the first third, the pepper and hazelnut aromas blend harmoniously with earthier touches. The second third introduces woody nuances, while the final third brings a light finishing sensation. The complexity of the aromatic palette is well-structured, making it a very coherent cigar.

The finish presents a medium length with a slightly earthy sensation, providing a note of roundness. The balance between strength and sweetness is very good, giving this cigar a unique and engaging character. The mouthfeel is both rich and velvety.

To fully enjoy the Helvada 70, consider a tasting at the end of the day, accompanied by a well-balanced whisky or a black coffee. This blend of flavors will surely delight you during precious moments of relaxation.
