The Diplomáticos El Emisario Edición Regional Suiza is, as you can guess from the name, a regional release exclusive to the Swiss market. El Emisario (Spanish for emissary) comes with a marble head, which in Cuba is called tumbada, finish. The factory name of the size is called Insólito (Spanish for unusual), which, upon reflection, makes sense, as the marble head finish is usually a trademark of the 109 vitola. And most recently also to the Partagás Línea Maestra line.
The cigar is wrapped in a golden Colorado wrapper with only a couple of small veins visible. The filling is generous, and the construction is good with a nicely finished marble head.

Diplomáticos El Emisario Edición Regional Suiza: The cold draw brings floral and honey nuances to the palate. Once lit, the cigar opens with cream, hazelnut, and baking spices.
The hazelnut and baking spice mix are the main flavors in the first third. A herbal component is present in the background, along with leather. The strength is a solid medium (3/5).
A coffee note is added to the profile in the second third, while the other flavors are confirmed. The strength remains unchanged.
The spices intensify in the last third, and the herbs become balsamic towards the end. The strength increases as well, becoming medium-full (4/5).
Overall, the Diplomáticos El Emisario Edición Regional Suiza is a flavorful smoke. The profile is well-structured with well-defined aromas, but the evolution is somewhat contained throughout the smoke.
