La Galera Connecticut Bonchero n°4
Make no mistake, its light wrapper conceals a cigar with a strong character. A powerful vitola with aromas of black pepper, spices and cumin accompanied by earthy notes. Enjoy it with a latte macchiato.
Don't let its light-coloured wrapper fool you into thinking it's a light vitola - this cigar has character!
The filler of this cigar is made from a variety of Dominican tobaccos. The Bonchero's wrapper is made from a Dominican Piloto Cubano variety, while the Connecticut wrapper comes from Ecuador.
Tasting note
Pairing
A caramel latte macchiato will add a little sweetness to this powerful cigar with its rather spicy aromas.
Momentum
First third :
A spicy, vibrant starter emerges, marked by the dominant presence of black pepper. The spices add a zesty, warm flavour, with subtle hints of cumin rounding off this exciting first step.
Second third:
The transition is to deeper aromas, reminiscent of humus and volcanic stone. The earthy character is still present, but is softened by the creamy texture of the Connecticut wrapper, which adds roundness to the whole. At this stage, a clean cut is recommended to prevent excessive intensification of the spicy notes, thus avoiding tipping over into overly fiery flavours.
Third third:
The aromas continue to round out, now dominated by lingering earthy notes. The cigar maintains its depth, offering a balanced experience right through to the last stage.
Throughout, the smoke is full-bodied and the ash compact. The wrapper is fine and a tad fragile: handle it gently.
