Nicarao Furia Alecto

At first glance, the Nicarao Furia Alecto stands out with its dark hue and silky appearance. Its wrapper, with a refined texture, reveals undeniable artisanal craftsmanship. The cigar commands attention in the hand with its modest dimensions of 114.3 mm (4½") in length and 22.2 mm (⅞") in diameter, becoming a true visual delight.

Upon lighting, the first olfactory contact is marked by expressiveness. One discovers notes of pepper and a subtle hint of fruit, which quickly intensify through a slight complexity. As we smoke, the Furia takes us on a sensory journey, characterized by bursts of coffee and a touch of walnut that unfold on the palate.

Throughout the three thirds, the development of flavors shows a beautiful progression. The first third begins with a gentle touch of chocolate, complemented by woody and earthy nuances. In the second third, a slight bitterness settles in, paired with nutty aromas. In the finale, the creamy texture strengthens, offering a pleasant and complex harmony.

The final sensation on the palate, although marked by a slight bitterness, leaves a residual sweetness that invites another draw. The average finish adds to the experience, with a rather good balance between strength and aromatic profile.

Ideal for a moment of relaxation at the end of the day, the Nicarao Furia Alecto pairs perfectly with a glass of red Burgundy or a lightly peated whisky, creating a memorable combination at twilight or during a quiet evening.
