Flor de Selva Maduro
WRAPPER: Jamastra, Honduran Maduro
BINDER: Brazilian Mata Fina
FILLER: Honduran
FORMAT: 660 Gordo "Tempo"
ORIGIN: Honduras
STRENGTH: Medium-Full
WEBSITE: www.mayaselvacigars.com
NOTES:
A smooth Death by Chocolate & richly 'baccy forward delivery. Those overtones are served with complexities of toffee & nougat. Braced by buttery cedar planks. Then its "turtles all the way down," except supplant turtles with lush earth with a tinge of refreshingly inky herbaceousness w/ slight nutty attachments.
A desert stick if I ever smoked one. A digestif, if ya will. Touch of black pepper, sauteed. Not complex. Definitely and defiantly lacking in transition. No lack of expression, tho -- in a happily meditative manner. Uber-balanced w/ rounded notes of a well-aged leaf.
Draws a tick hesitantly through-out but not to the point of issue. A tunnel threat emerges and dissipates in the 2/3. Ash builds dark & lovely. Copious cumulus clouds of leathery sweet earth. Dark yet not somber. Again, deeply meditative. Calming. Nice. Kind yet strong. This cigar is Michael Clarke Duncan in the Green Mile.
FINAL GRADE: B+
