Matilde Serena Toro Bravo - Blue Smoke Spirit - Cigar subscription and gifts - delivery in Switzerland

Matilde Serena Toro Bravo

The first notes to reach us are rather gentle. A hint of wood and caramel initiate the tasting. The aromas evolve moderately and persist on light flavours.

This is the second module from Matilde that we invite you to discover. This is the lightest model in the range, and its tobaccos from Nicaragua, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic give it a lovely roundness.

Tasting note

Notes

The first notes to reach us are rather gentle. A hint of wood and caramel initiate the tasting. The aromas evolve very little, remaining on light notes.
Once it reaches the purin, the cigar begins to be more gourmand and the creaminess settles in. At the end of the tasting, the cigar is a little greedier.

The smoke is generous and on a straight cut, it flies away in big clouds. In season...

The filling is good, although we would have preferred a slightly less flexible draw. Combustion was flawless throughout the tasting, and the ash broke off by itself after about 5 cm.

Momentum

We'd happily recommend it to a new afficionado who wants to try his hand at a slightly larger module without fear of losing his footing. Experienced enthusiasts will prefer it to accompany their coffee while reading the Sunday morning paper, or as part of a game of 'patience'.

Matilde

The rebirth of an old house.

Founded in 1876 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Matilde was one of the first tobacco companies in the Dominican Republic. Active for several years, it ceased trading in the early 1900s.

Almost 100 years later, José Seijas - then a young retiree - decided to pay tribute to his country and its tobacco culture by reviving the old "Matilde" house. His aim was to produce on a small scale in order to deliver a high-quality product.

Since 2014, José's gamble has paid off, and after a first cigar called 'Renacer', which simply means 'Renaissance', the brand is continuing its journey, providing cigar lovers around the world with cigars with complex, flavoursome aromas.
