Default Victor Vitale Tortuga 215 Reserva Coyote Negro

Victor Vitale Tortuga 215 Reserva Coyote Negro

Vitola: 5 1/2 x 54 belicoso
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Wrapper: Brazilian Mata Fina

On lighting I was hit with a burst of sweetness. This subsided into a rich mix of cocoa, cedar, possibly nutmeg rolling in and out through the duration over a base of loamy richness with the sweetness reappearing several times. The woody notes became more prominent toward the finish. I don't always know if I like a cigar on the first try. I have to say I really liked this; it was rich, smooth and beautifully complex, as well as very nicely constructed.

While this is a cigar the retailer I work for sells, I smoked it for the first time on Friday and was really impressed with the clean flavor profile.
