AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Robusto: unlit, hints of cocoa and earth. The opening is very structured and brings notes of earth and vegetal notes to the palate.

The first third is creamy. It reveals notes of cocoa and coffee. In the background, there is a barely mentioned black pepper spice present. Strength is medium (3/5).

The middle section of the cigar continues on earth and cocoa. The spicy component gives way to a background of herbs and leather. Strength remains constant (3/5).

In the last third, earth and coffee beans are perceived again, supported by leather and hints of herbs. Strength grows a slightly (3.5/5).

It present a structured smoke with a balanced flavor profile, even if not particularly evolutive. Creamy first half, slightly dry in the second.
