The tobacco of the Silencio Los Rios

I have tested three Robusto. The box of 20 costs CHF 276.00 (CHF 13.80 per cigar).

The wrapper leaf comes from Ecuador and is a Connecticut leaf. You may know the difference between the rather bitter Connecticut wrapper leaves from the USA and those from Ecuador. This one has a wonderful woody flavour without too much bitterness. I love Ecuador wrapper leaves.

The flavour

It glows long and evenly.

Retronasal shows the cigar from its strong side with a strong peppery flavour. There are also sensational roasted flavours reminiscent of burnt wood. When smoked, the cigar develops a spicy, slightly nutty flavour, which is complemented by pleasant grassy undertones. A slight acidity combines harmoniously with the wood flavours and a hint of cocoa. The balance is very well achieved.

The binder comes from Mexico. The filler of the Silencio Los Rio is a blend of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Brazil. The Brazilian tobacco is known for its distinctive flavour, which is difficult to describe - a mixture of earth and an almost sweet spiciness. In this cigar, it can be tasted subtly in the background, perhaps because I know it's in there. Maybe you can taste it too, if you pay close attention.

Conclusion

The Silencio Los Rios remains almost constant in the course of the smoke. A pleasant pepper note comes into play from the second half onwards.

On all three of the cigars I tested, the cap detached from the cigar head immediately after cutting. It is not fitted very carefully.

This cigar is a recommendation for anyone looking for an exciting smoking experience. The blend of tobaccos, including some from Brazil, brings a very nice variety to the game.

Try them out and let me know whether you can also taste the Brazilian tobacco or which flavours are in the foreground for you. I wish you a HAPPY SMOKE and see you in the next review!
