Fuerte Y Libre Bodacious Maduro

Hand made in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera El Hoyito, these cigars incorporate Dominican Piloto Cubano in the Ligero, Filler and Binder with an aged Ecuadorean Habano or Maduro wrapper. At the start, we were trying to recreate the transition from classic Cuban cigars to Cuban seed Dominicans and these are an expression of that journey. Named after a famous bull that no one could ride, these cigars are ready to enjoy in any setting.

Medium to Full Body/Medium Strength – Pre-light this cigar is impressive with a dark smooth Maduro wrapper that brings together the best of what Ecuador and the Dominican Republic have to offer. At first light, you’ll be hit by leather, dark chocolate, forest floor, and coffee. These flavors will compete for top billing as you burn towards the second third where they begin to work in harmony to increase the body of the cigar. There is some pepper and grassy field here but it remains clearly as a backdrop to the power hitters in this stick. If you are a Scotch fan lean towards Islay as a Highland will be too thin to stand up to this stick. If you prefer an American whiskey choose a bold and higher proof version.
