El Mejor Maduro

"El Mejor," translates to "the best" in Spanish, and you'll soon see that this cigar is indeed worthy of the name. A completely Nicaraguan breed, all the leaves used in the construction hale from Nicaragua, including Cuban Habano-seed Nicaraguan filler & binders and Nicaraguan wrapper leaves, and it is hand rolled in Nicaragua as well. The box-pressed El Mejor is a rich & robust cigar packed with flavor-an exceptional, slow-burning, beautiful maduro. An additional complement to renowned lines such as Savinelli Nicaraguan Reserve, 5 Vegas, and Cupido, Master roller Don "Kiki" Berger of the Tabacalera Esteli factory, has rolled another winner. Expect a smooth, earthy flavor with strong notes of chocolate and slightly sweetened tobacco, a characteristic of the well-nourished leaves that grow in the pitch black soil of Don Kiki's farms in Esteli, Nicaragua. The sleek, dark maduro wrapper gives off flavors of black pepper, which offset the sweeter notes in a manner that contributes to this cigar's complexity. Well constructed with a firm, but not tight draw, this cigar should keep a smile on your face for a good 45 minutes to an hour. Consider trying this with Courvoisier XO Cognac for a rewarding flavor combination.
