Construction
If you search for the meaning of Rebelde online, you will get a translation from Spanish and Portuguese to rebellious. The description says that it is a rebellious person who is difficult to control and opposes authority.
There was something unique about the cigar that I had never seen before. The classic pig’s tail is seen from time to time on cigars, rounded top with decoration of a small pig’s tail. Putting it on the foot is the first time I’ve seen it though, it was there like an embellishment that showed the real skill of an artist. A wonderful detail worth remembering.

Scent and cold draw
The scent i felt on the cigar was chocolate and fruitiness while the cold draw presented lighter flavors of maltiness and florality.
1/3 Lets light up the El Septimo Rebelde Blue
It all started with the classic “clean” feel that I would say is a hallmark of El Septimo cigars. The texture of the Rebelde blue was creamy and not overwhelming and the flavors it presented were almost difficult to explain in text. The flavors I felt in the cigar were a combination of floral and fruity with a lighter shade of citrus (you can almost mimic it with a luxurious perfume), Cacao, soft taste of honey (Not the robust honey taste that takes up too much space), cedar wood, fresh herbs and leather. In the background there were flavors of pepper and hay. The rethrohale was smooth and gave off woody nuances.
2/3 The Rebelde blue showed a ligher complexity
When I got into the second third, the texture changed and became a little creamier and richer, which made the moment more enjoyable than before. The flavors I was presented with were oak-like woodiness, leather, cacao, herbs and a combination of raisins and honey-like sweetness. I think the combination of raisins and honey was one of the most interesting parts and one that you don’t feel often. Most often you feel them more separately. In the background there were nuances of florality, white pepper, espresso, saltiness and a taste that is most easily described as dark maple syrup. The retrohalation was as before smooth and had nuances of woodiness.
3/3 the end of the cigar wish the moment wasn’t soon over
That the cigar showed complexity from the beginning was no doubt and that it did so at the end with no shock. The texture was the same as in the second third, which was incredibly pleasant. The flavors I felt were hay, leather, anise cacao, floral, sweet herbs, fir needles, sweet oak-like flavor with a hint of cedar and old-fashioned caramel. I think the old-fashioned caramel is the result of the syrup flavor from earlier developing. In the background there were shades of earthiness, raisins, honey, brown sugar-like sweetness and roasted ground coffee beans. The retrohalation was smooth and had developed into dark woody shades.

Conclusion
El Septimo Rebelde Blue is a complex cigar with a unique flavor profile that is almost difficult to explain. The cigar has their clean feel to the taste buds that is unique compared to other brands. The body that is full is so smooth that the cigar is well suited to the beginner who is curious about full-bodied cigars. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think it is incredibly cheap compared to what you get.
