Astral Talanga Valley Selection

The Astral brand is a highly recognized and praised brand, known for its mild-to-medium body. The Talanga Valley Selection is handmade in, where else… Honduras' beautiful Talanga Valley. This Robusto is the newest addition to the Astral line and is still made in very small quantities. The beautiful, sun-grown Cuban-seed wrapper is harvested only from the top of the plant, which results in a dark, oily wrapper with lots of flavor. We found the draw good, the burn perfect and plenty of smoke in this well-aged Honduran. Look for a somewhat sweet woody earthy quality complemented with a hint of nuttiness. Note a pleasant cedar aroma and spicy woody finish. Overall, a great smoke any time of day that would be complemented nicely with an oaky chardonnay.
