Patoro Brasil Belicoso

It’s the Brazilian warmth we promise you as the thermometer drops. We have selected the Patoro Brasil Belicoso, both for its size and its flavors: both exude a gentle and enveloping warmth, similar to that of a Brazilian sunset.

This exceptional latest creation from Patoro owes its name to its Cubra wrapper. Cubra tobacco is a hybrid of Cuban and Brazilian seeds, cultivated with care and passion. Elegant and exotic, this cigar will offer any enthusiast a tasting experience as unexpected as it is refined.

Tasting Notes

The pleasure starts with the eyes! The wrapper is even, the veins visible, and the wrapper is well stretched, smooth. We opted for a straight cut, revealing the interlacing leaves that show a very nice density. Don’t hesitate to cut it firmly for optimal draw. Milder than the Patoro Brasil Gordito we previously tasted, its construction is just as impeccable and the ash firm.

Raw, notes of chocolate and nougat fill the palate and will be confirmed throughout the tasting. Creamy, smooth, and refined, this cigar is a true caress for the palate. Close your eyes, and the promise of the softness of a Brazilian sunset is felt.

The Brazilian wrapper brings this very pleasant softness and roundness.

Pairing

Don’t look too long, take out your best (non-peated) rum to accompany the delicacy of this blend.

The Cigar Anecdote

Patrick Jonas Martin founded Patoro in 2001. A subtle contraction between his first name and “Oro” (Gold in Spanish), the new brand aims to be an ambassador of the richness and traditions of the Dominican terroir.

About Patoro

Having gained extensive experience at Davidoff, Patrick Jonas Martin founded Patoro in 2001.

A subtle combination of his first name and ‘Oro’ (Spanish for ‘gold’), the new brand aims to be an ambassador for the richness and traditions of the Dominican Republic.

Patoro has been built on an artisanal approach and a meticulous attention to detail. Patrick has always focused on small-batch production of cigars crafted from aged tobaccos, using leaves selected for their exceptional quality.

These limited production volumes mean the brand remains somewhat under the radar for now, allowing Patrick and his team to offer cigars with perfect rolling and balanced flavours.

In 2014, Pablo Richard (the grandson of Dr Ernst Schneider, former owner and Chairman of the Oettinger Davidoff Group) decided to leave surgery to pursue his greatest passion – cigars – and joined the wonderful Patoro venture.
