Izambar Swindon
Balanced and creamy. These two adjectives alone could characterise this cigar. On lighting, the first wisps of smoke are already dense, filling the room with the first aromas of earth and leather.
For this latest creation, Edmond et Antonio once again have a wonderful surprise in store. Wrapped in a beautiful Ecuadorian cloak, we find Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Jalapa and Condega regions.
First, the visual. Like the brand's other cigars, it has a large ring with a steampunk look. It's an heirloom of Izambar Brunel, the great English engineer of the early 19th century. The codes of previous vitolas are respected, with a dark, oily wrapper that already makes us want to light it on fire.
Tasting note
Notes
Balanced and creamy. These two adjectives alone could characterise this cigar. On lighting, the first wisps of smoke are already dense, filling the room with the first aromas of earth and leather.
Like Brunel's plans, everything here is meticulous. The combustion is perfect and the ash holds well. The increasingly complex aromas bring notes of spice and fruit.
Pairing
Paired with a stout, this cigar will take you back in time, and you might even hear the whistle of a steam locomotive in the distance.
