La Perla Habana Black Pearl Gordo: Review



This posing is in preparation of The March Matching (March 6 – 12)
March Matching is where I pair six different cigars against one BEER!  Which one will be the best pairing.

Wrapper: Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro
Fillers: Nicaragua, Mexico, and Dominican
Size: 5 x 56

Off the light some smooth toasted and earthy notes.  Flavors of toasted wheat and rye bread, dried raisins and fig, a slight nutty note, and a forest floor earthiness peaks my interest.  Mild to medium in body. 

The overall mouthfeel seems delicate and smooth but, the overall taste profile seems uninteresting to me.   I’ll have to give it a 4 on My Strength Rating.

Not the most interesting stick around but, nice for a mild-medium maduro smoke.  Some of the sweet maduro tobacco notes came through on the final third of the cigar.  
9:1 odds

Another two cigars to be reviewed in preparation of March Matching next Saturday.
