Tasting notes
At first glance, La Buena Cosecha Demi Tasse presents a uniform appearance and a texture that feels quite smooth in hand. With its 108 mm (4¼") length, this Nicaraguan cigar attracts attention with its simple yet elegant look. The wrapper, while understated, hints at a promise of intriguing flavors.
The first olfactory contact reveals lightly spicy aromas, accompanied by a note of cocoa. Upon lighting, the scent develops, offering a blend of spices and pepper, but remains rather discreet, suggesting a limited complexity. The progression unfolds without much surprise, imparting an impression of simplicity through its flavors.
On the palate, this cigar is primarily distinguished by its cocoa and spice flavors, gradually evolving towards hints of fruit and a slight metallic character. The sensation of the draw is unfortunately difficult, making the experience less enjoyable and its consistency rather precarious as one smokes.
The finish of this cigar is marked by a bitter sensation, leaving a residual sweetness in the mouth, but without much finish. Its balance between strength and sweetness struggles to convince, making this Demi Tasse a somewhat disappointing choice for enthusiasts in search of richness and complexity.
For those wishing to try it, I recommend enjoying it during a quiet moment in the late afternoon, perhaps accompanied by a cup of coffee or a light infusion, which could soften some of its rough edges and reveal its hidden potential.
