El Sueño 15th Anniversary

There’s no mystery about this cigar. It’s here to celebrate an anniversary! An age of reason and maturity for this Swiss brand, which has always managed to reinvent itself. Following on from the classic range and the two bold vitolas of the Grand Reserva range, the Box Pressed Anniversary looks every bit the part.

Tasting menu

Notes

Upon lighting, a slight hint of bitterness is reminiscent of Italian Robusta and its wild, distinctive character. The cigar itself comes across as rather pleasant, though one mustn’t forget that this is a distinguished vitola: it hails from Esteli. For indeed, El Sueño presents us here with the brand’s first Nicaraguan cigar. Dark chocolate and leather join the festivities, instantly enhancing the indulgence of this cigar. Creamy like a chocolate fondant and rich like a mature cheese… Pure bliss!

Pairing

With a cigar like that, a Flor de Caña rum is a must!
