Caldwell Anastasia Laguito No. 1 "Igor"

Caldwell Anastasia Laguito No. 1 IGOR. Today I would like to report on a special experience: my tasting of the Caldwell Anastasia Laguito No. 1 IGOR. This classic format is not so easy to find, as manufacturers often shy away from it. For one thing, it takes experienced rollers to make these cigars, and for another, they are not very popular with consumers, as smoking this format requires some practice to avoid overheating. But let's get straight to the rating.

The quality

The quality of this cigar is something to be proud of. The wrapper is silky and appealing, indicating a careful selection of tobacco leaves. The construction is even and shows the craftsmanship that has gone into this cigar.

The cold draw reveals a promising profile from the start. It is sweetly woody and leaves a discreet hint of grass in the retronasal region.

The first five minutes of the smoking experience with the Caldwell Anastasia Laguito No. 1 IGOR are extremely pleasant. The cigar is easy to light and I choose a gentle flame so as not to overheat the slender format. The draw resistance is perfect and the burn is even.

First and second half

In the first and second half, this cigar develops into a real pleasure. The aftertaste is subtle at first, but then increases and remains pleasant on the tongue and retronasal area. The aroma (the scent of the smoke) is slightly spicy and very pleasant. I could detect notes of nuts, a touch of pepper and in the retronasal area leather and cocoa. On the tongue, coffee beans and wood notes were present. A pleasant acidity rounds out the taste experience.

The rating is high: 93 ZiZo points!
