The Esencia Brand is one I have wanted to try since they were introduced some years ago.
It is a Nicaraguan Puro tied to the Palio line of cigar cutters.
First the boring but important stuff...
1)you can see the pics and make your own call on appearance and ash.
2)it didn't feel heavy in the hand but was adequate,it appeared well filled.
3)draw is excellent.
4)smoke volume and combustion are both great.
the good stuff...

It has velvety smooth smoke delivering a medium to full body,which is a must for me.
The tobacco is obviously aged,being very easy to nose smoke.This is essential to truly taste a cigar imo.
To describe the taste,let's just say if I were smoking it blind and except for the size;I would say it tastes like a Cuban Montecristo.A #4 comes to mind.
A very rich and well refined flavor.
The box hunt is now on

Thank you OpusEx for the chance to try these
