External impression
I'm really looking forward to the Maduro from the new Despacito Nicaragua line.
At first sight, the cigar almost feels like a little treasure. The wrapper is silky smooth, invitingly medium to dark brown and it exudes a mixture of elegance and adventure. Before lighting up, it makes itself known with a slightly earthy cold draw - a touch of rustic authenticity that leaves you wanting more.

The start
Lighting is like a dance: easy, precise, without complications. The draw is perfect, so to speak - not too heavy, not too light, and the burn is like Swiss clockwork. In the first few minutes a subtle, pleasant taste unfolds that whets the appetite for the next acts in this theater of pleasure.

During the smoke
This is where Despacito becomes a diva. It sings notes of cedar, dark chocolate and a hint of leather, while the room note remains floral and subtle. The pleasure builds like a well-composed orchestral piece, with an intense climax and a finale that lingers on the tongue like a good espresso. An up and down? No, this cigar remains in the Champions League. But: crooked burn and wave burn. This is not a fault of the cigar, but has to do with acclimatization.

Acclimatization of this cigar for 4-6 weeks is important to optimize its quality and smoking experience. This applies if you buy the cigar in December 24 / January 25. This is because it has only recently arrived in Switzerland.
Here are the reasons for acclimatization:
1. Moisture compensation
Cigars are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb or release moisture from their environment. After production or transportation, the moisture content in the cigar can fluctuate. Acclimatization in the humidor over several weeks ensures that the moisture is evenly distributed throughout the cigar. This prevents uneven burning and a poor draw.
2. Stabilization of the aromas
During acclimatization, the aromas can develop and stabilize better. Cigars that have been freshly rolled or transported often have "sharp" or unbalanced flavors. Maturing in a humidor under controlled conditions allows the tobacco leaves to harmonize and creates a rounder, more complex taste profile.
3. Temperature and humidity adjustment
Transportation and storage, especially over long distances or in different climates, can cause temperature fluctuations. These have a negative effect on the cigar, for example by causing cracks in the wrapper or a crooked burn. Slow adjustment in the humidor helps to reduce these tensions and prepare the cigar for optimum conditions. Please always store with the cellophane in the humidor.
Conclusion:
The 4-6 weeks of acclimatization are not a waiting period, but an investment in the perfect smoking experience. They guarantee that the cigar develops its full potential - both in terms of aromas and smoke quality. Patience really pays off here!
