Foundry La Flor De Cano + Troegs Field Study IPA Pairing

Check this out. La Flor de Cano is a classic Cuban brand...General Cigar owns it outside of Cuba. Foundry was General's in-house boutique laboratory and one of its brainstorms was a heritage project that married up the rich history of legacy brand La Flor de Cano with new, inviting packaging and an amped-up, interesting, rich and flavorful small-batch blend. The wrapper is a thick, moist, dark Piloto Cubano leaf with a beautiful oily sheen. The 4-country long-filler blend is composed of Dominican, Honduran, Mexican, and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Balanced complexity from head to toe, this blend delivers a potpourri of rich flavors including wood and baked bread up front which melds into a core of earth, leather and ground pepper with sweet spice through the nose. It's dense and well made. Burns slow but even throughout with a perfect draw - easy with just a slight bit of resistance. Combustion is solid and ash is tight and white.
