Flor de Selva N. 15: in the cold draw, well-defined notes of wood and nuts emerge, enriched by spicy nuances.
Once lit, the cigar brings a sapid but also delicately sweet smoke to the palate. An important wood note emerges, followed by less intense notes of coffee and toasted hazelnut, with balsamic nuances. The strength is medium-light (2/5).
In the central section, the smoke remains sapid, while the initial sweetness disappeared. The woody note is confirmed, this time enriched by mineral tones of equal intensity and less marked notes of nuts. Strength increases, becoming medium (3/5).
In the last third, the sapidity remains unchanged. The wood loses intensity and gives way to an marked note of cocoa, which also reveals a spicy and mineral undertone. Strength increases very slightly (3.5/5).
Overall, the Flor de Selva N. 15 is a cigar that provides a very interesting smoke, rich in terms of the definition of each flavor. The present but not excessive strength plays in favor of the flavor profile. The evolution is appreciable, also leaving room for fascinating nuances.
