1/2 Lets light up the PDR El Criollito A. Flores Rosado Robusto

It wasn’t particularly thick. The texture was slightly creamy, bordering on non-existent. The dominant flavors I felt were hay mixed with grass, nuttiness and woodiness with a slight hint of cedar. In the background were flavors of spice, coffee, florality, honey-like sweetness and cinnamon. The retrohalation tickled the nose a little and gave nuances of hay and cayenne pepper.

2/2 The cigar showed a minor complexity

As I entered the second part of the PDR El Criollito A. Flores Rosado Robusto cigar, it showed a lighter complexity.

In the backround there were flavors of saltiness, coffee latte and spiciness. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of woodiness and cayenne pepper.
