Construction
The cigar was tightly rolled without any veins. The wrapper was semi-rough without any oiliness.
Wrapper: Honduras – Binder: Honduras – Filler: Honduras
Scent and cold draw
The wrapper had a scent of hay and strangely a lighter shade of mint leaves in the background. The filler smelled of hay, nuttiness and chocolate. The cold draft gave me flavors of chocolate.
Lets light up the Aladino Corojo Rotschild and see what it has to offer
The cigar was no complexity and the flavors I felt at the beginning were the same until the end. It showed that it was perfect for shorter moments and days when you don’t want to focus too much on the cigar. The texture was slightly creamy and the dominant flavors I felt were hay, nuttiness, herbs, florality and anise. In the background there was a light spiciness. The retrohalation tickled the nose a little and gave nuances of spiciness and hay.

Conclusion
Aladino Corojo Rotschild is good for days when you don’t want to focus too much on the cigar and feel well-balanced flavors. The body, which is on medium, is suitable for most aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think it is where it should be.
