El Borracho Edmundo: hints of honey emerge in the cold draw. The opening brings vegetal notes to the palate.
In the first third, it continue on with vegetal notes, side by side with wood and spices. The strength is slightly over the medium level (3,5/5).
In the second third, the smoke turns to an aromatic palette composed of toasted notes of coffee and earth. Strength does not increase, it remains constant (3,5/5).
There are no flavor changes in the final third. However, a bitterish vein appears, which stays until the finish. Strength does not change.
Overall, the El Borracho Edmundo is a cigar with a discrete aromatic intensity, which gives rise to a linear evolution. It is not particularly complex and at times lacks a change of rhythm, both in terms of strength and flavors.
