BINDER: Ecuadorian Habano 2000
FILLER: Nicaraguan, Dominican

FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Medium

NOTES:
Caramel syrup | Red pepper | Mocha

An attainable offering, more sweet than spicy, and quite-mainly pleasantly consistent. Unchallenging. Simple. Gives plumes of pattiserierre aromas. Heats a bit in mouth and mitt.

DRAW: B
BURN: B+
BUILD: B+

FINAL GRADE: B
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79

[Note: this is apparently the older packaging (black silhouette) and prior to part of the line moving to another factory. This offering was part of that move. No word on if the blend has/will be changed.]
