Matilde Serena Toro Bravo
This is the second module from Matilde that we invite you to discover. It stands out with a beautiful Ecuadorian wrapper that is light, smooth and free of impurities. It is the lightest model in the range, and its tobaccos from Nicaragua, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic give it a beautiful roundness.

Tasting menu
Notes
The first notes to reach us are rather mild. A hint of wood and caramel initiates the tasting. The aromas evolve very little and remain light.
Once it reaches the purin, the cigar begins to become more indulgent and creamy. This gives the end of the tasting a little more indulgence.
The smoke is generous and, when cut straight, billows out in thick clouds. Seasonal…
It is well filled, although we would have preferred a slightly tighter draw. The burn was flawless throughout the tasting and the ash broke off on its own after about 5 cm.
Momentum
We would gladly recommend it to a new aficionado who wants to try a slightly larger module without fear of losing their footing. Seasoned enthusiasts will prefer it to accompany their coffee while reading the Sunday morning paper or playing a game of solitaire.

About Matilde
The revival of a historic brand.
Founded in 1876 in Santiago de los Caballeros, the Matilde brand was one of the first tobacco companies in the Dominican Republic. After operating for several years, its activities were suspended in the early 1900s.
It was nearly 100 years later that José Seijas – then a young retiree – decided to pay tribute to his country and its tobacco culture by reviving the historic “Matilde” brand. His aim was to produce on a small scale in order to deliver a fine, high-quality product.
Since 2014, José’s venture has been a success and, following an initial cigar named “Renacer” – which simply means “Renaissance” – the brand continues to provide cigar enthusiasts worldwide with cigars boasting complex and flavourful aromas.
