Nasty Esco
The Nasty Esco is part of Escobar Cigars’ Light-Years collection. This collection is linked to the musical career of Nasir Jones, better known as Nas, establishing a direct connection between the brand’s identity and the various stages of the artist’s career. We were lucky enough to sample it in a preview, whilst it was still wrapped in its inner wrapper.
Habano wrapper from Ecuador; Colorado colour; Sumatra binder; Dominican Republic / Nicaragua filler

Tasting menu
When drunk undiluted, notes of hazelnut burst onto the palate.
On the draw, distinct notes of white pepper. The cigar has a clean, crisp opening. The aroma on the exhale is quite quickly characterised by pronounced toasty and woody notes. An impressive length on the palate, with a hint of hazelnut that lingers. The wrapper is rather dry and sticks slightly to the lips.
