Balmoral Dueto Ovación

This limited-edition series is, above all, a collaboration between Boris Wintermans of Balmoral and Ernesto Perez Carrillo of the eponymous cigar brand. The vitolas in this range – three, to be precise – offer a spectrum of the distinctive character of each of these two enthusiasts of the land and the product. Their aim in creating this blend was for each to leave their mark on these unusual cigars. They have succeeded; the flavours of these cigars are sure to impress any connoisseur.

Notes

Made from expertly aged tobacco leaves sourced from Nicaragua and Brazil, the filler and binder exude the rich aromas of barns and woodland. A silky, indulgent wrapper, drawing its flavours from the Jalapa Valley, gracefully envelops this fine cigar. Aromas of molasses and cocoa, along with notes of earth and dried fruit, confirm the richness of these cigars. I have chosen the Ovación (Robusto Perfecto) for you because its curves promise intense pleasure. A promise kept!

Pairing

A strong Brazilian coffee and a few pieces of Nicaraguan dark chocolate will complement this cigar, which generally stands on its own.

Momentum

It’s particularly enjoyable after a sunny brunch with friends.

A cigar anecdote

Cigars are about discovery and a journey of exploration.

About Balmoral

The brand, established in 1895, takes its name from Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the residence of Queen Victoria. It was during her reign that many of the key players in the cigar industry (still active today) first emerged. The watchwords? Artisanal expertise and respectability.

The same is true of Jacques Wintermans, founder of Royal Agio Cigars. This Dutch entrepreneur was the first of four generations that have followed in his footsteps to bring us these fine cigars.
