Swecigars Gustav II Adolf - The Great Era cigar review

A cigar with flavors that are difficult to explain. It wasn’t particularly complex, but that definitely didn’t matter. The only shame was that the moment with the cigar went by too quickly.

Construction

Even though the band on the cigar had a picture of one of Sweden’s greatest kings, I got a philosophical feeling. I don’t know why, but it was like it was made for those moments when you sit by yourself and just want to be one with the cigar. The cigar was tightly rolled and incredibly light considering its size. There was a slight oiliness that wrapped around it like a blanket.

Wrapper: Habano – Binder: Esteli – Filler: Jalapa and Condega

Scent and cold draw

The wrapper had a scent of hay and general sweetness while the filler had a scent of farm yard. The cold draw gave me flavors of Sweet fruitiness and nuttiness

The flavors are incredibly difficult to explain, but the cigar had a unique flavor profile that had to be felt to understand. The texture was creamy and at the same time slightly buttery. The dominant flavors were cedar, a unique fruitiness reminiscent of classic fruit salad with a hint of exotic fruits, herbs and a sweetness that is best described as a combination of vanilla sugar and honey. In the background were shades of anise and leather. The retrohalation was smooth and gave shades of white pepper and leather.
