Construction

The band gave me a unique impression. It felt like something out of a movie, gold that had been stolen from the king after a mighty battle by pirates, melted and wrapped over cigars with their seal and then hidden away, only to be found centuries later by treasure hunters. Today they are seen in museums and only a lucky few get to hold them.

The cigar was firm and solid, the only thing that gott me concerned was a larger vein in the last third. Luckily the vein didn’t cause any problems like they usually do at that size. The wrapper had a slightly more matte feel without any oiliness.

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf, USA – Binder: San Andrés, Mexico – Filler: Dominican, USA and Nicaragua

Taste

Smell and cold draw

The wrapper smelled farmhouse, that smell of hay, leather and grass mixed together. The filler smelled like hay. Cold draft was almost cozy and gave shades of dark chocolate.

1/3 Lets see what the cigar has to offer

The cigar started with a slightly unique texture. A texture that I can’t describe in any other way except that it was creamy and a little milky at the same time. It was incredibly nice. The flavors the cigar gave were a nuttiness reminiscent of a mixture of almonds and hazelnuts, cedar, fresh spices and in the background there was a sweetness reminiscent of condensed milk and espresso. The retrohale was smooth and reminiscent of sweet fresh spices.

2/3 The joy continues with ADVentura cigar

As I stepped into the second third of the cigar, the texture changed a bit and was now just creamy. My taste buds were greeted by flavors of cedar, dark chocolate, espresso, roasted almonds, saltiness, hickory and in the background flavors of a general sweetness and floral nuances were found. Retrohaling became a bit stronger and was no longer as smooth as before, it became quite peppery with a mixture of white pepper, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

3/3 A great cigar from start to finish

The texture was still creamy as before and the dominant flavors were dark chocolate, espresso, hay, hickory, a saltiness reminiscent of salted peanuts, cinnamon, something reminiscent of wood-baked sourdough bread, in the background there was a hint of fruitiness and some flavor I can’t explain but it strangely made me think of metal. An extra interesting thing was that at the last puff there were some flavors reminiscent of orange peel which heightened the experience. That slightly bitter but at the same time sour shade. The retrohale was smooth and reminiscent of hickory.

After taste

The aftertaste was long and gave flavors of walnuts mixed with oak.

Body

The body was on the upper part of medium.

Smoke time

75 minutes

Conclusion

A well-balanced cigar with an interesting flavor profile. A Body in the upper region of medium that suits the aficionado. If I compare price vs. taste vs. quality, I would like to say that it is on the lower side. I could imagine paying a little more for the cigar.
