Chieftains Highland Selection-Corona

Garbandz · 06-02-2009, 08:12 AM

From Isthmus Cigars in Costa Rica.This brand is blended to pair with the Chieftains Scotch Whiskies,this is the Highland blend.
The cigar is wrapped in a very smooth medium brown H2000 wrapper.It has a medium draw,perfect seams,cuts nicely and is firm and weighty in the hand.
The pre light examination reveals aromas of well cured tobaccos,brown sugar,a taste of cocoa,and spicy tobacco tastes.
The first half gives a firm taste of oak,fine leather notes,hints of pepper and a clean, dry stoney finish.
The second half of this smoke produces light caramel notes,big tastes of leather,a slight saltiness,and a very clean dry finish.The palate is slightly coating,the burn is perfect to the nub.
I am very pleased by the construction and overall quality of all of the cigars offered by Isthmus,the tobaccos are uniformly mature,the cigars are well made,firm and always burn very evenly.It is nice to find a company that offers the consumer a wide range of blends with this level of consistancy...
I think this blend will pair nicely with many types of spirits,as well as malt whiskies.....
