A cigar test is subjective

Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.

It is excellently rolled and has perfect draw resistance. Lighting up was a little more difficult than usual with all three specimens. The tobacco glowed quickly in some places (as always) and in others it took a little longer. In the end, all three examples glowed exemplary and for a long time, right up to the finale.

So! But now the tasting notes! The cigar develops slightly upwards from the beginning to the finale. It remains almost linear, but the flavor notes become somewhat more intense towards the finale; wood and nut in particular pick up speed.

The Anita is neatly embossed and beautifully decorated. The paper is of high quality. It's simply fun when the overall picture of the cigar fits as well as it does here.

As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂
