March Matching is where I pair six different cigars against one BEER! Which one will be the best pairing. Wrapper: Costa Rica Maduro
Fillers: Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan
Size: 5 x 56
Off the light: I like the medium-dark roasted coffee notes on the first few puffs. Then I start to get a feel for a dry cocoa powder taste on the palate.
As I approach the mid-point of the cigar the flavors are still medium-dark roasted coffee and cocoa powder with a nice toasted pumpernickel bread note and a white peppercorn spice added to the mix along with a good soil earthiness. The mouthfeel is robust in style and the texture is a bit wool like, so I would not call it smooth, because it has a little bite to it. The roasted flavors linger on the palate for a meaty aftertaste. The cigar finishes with a solid robust style. Good earthy notes, white pepper spice, and dark roasted coffee notes. I’ll have to give it a 6 on my strength scale. 4:1 odds
