CRUZ REAL - Conneticut

[tacHammer]

Origin: Honduras
Size & Shape: 5 x 50 Parejo
Filler: Dom/Nic/Hon
Binder: ?
Wrapper: Connecticut

Cruz Real cigars are blended by Rocky Patel and Famous proprietor Arthur Zaretsky with long-aged Dominican and Nicaraguan longfillers rolled in your choice of U.S. Connecticut or savory dark Sumatra wrappers.

I'm typically not a fan of Connecticut wrappers and this cigar is a little weak to me for an after meal desert but it makes for a great morning cigar with coffee. The rich flavor really melds with java in a way that is hard to describe. The stick felt just a little soft up and down it's length but I never had any draw or burn issues. It burned evenly and supplied ample smoke with a firm gray ash.

I would definitely like more. Rocky and Arthur are to be commended.

Get's an 8 on the tac-o-meter.

Fletchman's Notes:
I was very impressed with this cigar. The longer I smoke cigars the more I am coming to appreciate delicate flavors and complexity. I found this cigar to be extremely smooth, creamy with hints of vanila, carmel and a slight nuttyness. A really fine smoke. I would think this cigar with a one of the lighter single malts would be outstanding. I found them to be mild in body but with lots of creamy smoke and alot of flavor. This is the second famous exclusive cigar I have tried in the last few months. The Conuco was outstanding and although this cigar is a totally different blend it is equally as good. Burn was sharp and draw was excellent.
