With all the boutique cigar companies popping up, it can be hard to know which ones are worth trying, and which ones are not. For the novice cigar smoker, it can be very daunting.
One cigar that I recently tried needs to make it in to your normal rotation, the Tres Carabeles by Hispaniola Cigars. Owner Hugo Melo comes from a long line if cigar makers, and he’s struck gold with this line.
It’s wrapper, a oscuro vuelta arriba, is absolutely stunning. Dark, oily, with just a hint of veins, the pre smoke scent was a nice charred espresso, with a slightly compacted foot.
After lighting, at first puff, I sensed a little more of the charred espresso, a flavor I really like in a cigar. There was also a slight hint of citrus. As the cigar got to the 2nd third, I started getting a nice pepper taste, with a bit of espresso, while leather dominated the last 3rd.
I didn’t want this cigar to end, it was that good. The construction and burn were flawless, with not even the slightest problem with the draw. It burned evenly and consistently throughout.
