A. FLORES · DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Gran Reserva Corojo
This is a tribute. In the cigar world, tributes are fairly common. Blends are made to commemorate anniversaries, people, legacies, and legends. And this treasure from Pinar del Rio, first released at 2013’s IPCPR, also happens to pay homage to someone pretty darn special. This handmade is meticulously crafted in honor of Abe Flores, the man you probably know as one of the best and brightest blenders in the business. Each one is crafted using a Dominican binder, a bevy of Nicaraguan Habano filler leaves, and topped in an extensively aged 2006 Dominican Corojo wrapper. The result is medium in body, rich, and creamy, plus with a limited run it has that whole “exclusive and elusive” thing going for it. Have your fill now, or thoroughly regret it later.

Merveilleuse dégustation malgré la présence de fortes rafales de vent de ce cigare au joli bouquet aromatique. Les arômes iront de la noix de muscade, au piment d'espelette, en passant par du pain d'épices, suivi de miel, de boisé et de poivré. La combustion est régulière malgré les conditions climatiques. Le tirage est parfait et permet une ouverture à l'emporte-pièce. La cendre est très compacte. Le panache de fumée est généreux. La cape maduro du cigare est grasse. La puissance est moyenne à forte, ce qui est assez surprenant pour un dominicain et demanderait un accompagnement plus fort qu'une bière pour la prochaine fois. Très jolie pièce à savourer.
