Sinistro Cigars
Mr. Black
WRAPPER: Nicaraguan
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Dominican, USA, Nicaraguan
FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: La Aurora, Santiago, Dominican Republic.
STRENGTH: Medium
WEBSITE: www.sinistrocigars.com
NOTES:
Complex spices balanced by dark sweetnesses. Particularly front-loaded pepper-spice display of paprika, clove, nutmeg. A black then red pepper. As it calms, thru the 1/3, a toasted cream cushions nicely. Then semisweet chocolate can be seen. Undertones are Cuban coffee, stiff leather, and candied almonds.
On the retro-hale is a bit of fig, bigly tho kindly black peppered. Excellent complexities, as mentioned. Nuances could be a bit deeper, cream fails at thickening to its fullest. The underbelly is simple earth, and w/ a savoriness which doesn't quite catch. Balance, as again mentioned, is a selling point. Finish is a sweet spice with a decent meatiness on moderate leg-length.
Draw is a bit stiff, particularly in the opening third. Seams come a tick loose at char. Burn-line is even 'nuff. Definitely, a tightly-rolled cigar that doesn't loosen much via progression. Ash stacks well & oily dark. Smoke out-put is a bit less than average but builds a nice leathery mocha room-note with spicy kicker.
FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
