La Rosa De Sandiego Maduro Toro Gordo Cigar Review

This 6x54 stick features a very dark chocolate densely packed wrapper with a fine sand paper tooth, minimal veins, tight invisible seams, double cap and pungent musty tobacco aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw with medium-full bodied smoke of a zesty deep peppery earth and a long finish of the same. The first third drops the slight roughness but holds the rest of the experience. Hitting the 1/2 way point at 40 minutes the construction is flawless dropping the ash in a solid chunk, burn is razor sharp and flavors are utterly unchanged. Finishing at 1:20 the last bit showed no flavor changes but did bring in a medium strength kick at least making it a bit more interesting.
