Experience #31
With a few more days of heatwave ahead of us, we can look forward to some great evenings enjoying these magnificent cigars. These three cigars, with their very different characters, have one thing in common: they will surprise you.
The nec plus ultra with a superb Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto Hexagon whose hexagonal shape is inspired by the honeycomb. For us, this is a "meditative cigar" par excellence, verging on perfection.
La Aurora Dominican DNA Gran Toro, which is produced using a traditional Dominican method that is rarely used today. Once the tobacco plant has reached maturity, the lower leaves are cut off, leaving only the lighero (the leaves at the top that have received the most sunlight during growth).
CAO Cameroon Short PerfectoThe richness and sweetness of this African leaf combines with notes of spice, leather and cocoa to create a moderately full-bodied experience.
