Astral Favorito Maduro

The Astral brand is a highly recognized and praised brand known for its mild-to-medium body. Handmade in Danli, Honduras, this smoke is nearly a Honduran puro - while the wrapper, binder, and filler all come from Honduras, the filler also includes some leaves from Nicaragua. One of the special features of the Favorito is the gentle taper at the foot. Aesthetically, this is a beautiful thing. We found the draw good, the burn perfect and plenty of smoke in this well-aged Honduran. This is a creamy full-bodied smoke filled with woody flavors and finishing with lots of spice. A hoppy India Pale Ale or oaky Chardonnay would pair up nicely with this Maduro.
