Some of the tobaccos are grown in the Benevento region of Italy. When you think of Italy you think of fine wine – well now you can think of this fine cigar. Thinking about it – this should go well with a fine Italian Wine.
Now, this five pack of Italia’s is interesting in the fact that the wrapper is a brown color instead of the very dark brown/blackish like wrapper on the ones I have smoked in the past. I wonder how this will affect the flavor profile. I know with the La Gloria R Series Maduros that I do not like the stick that have a brownish look compared to the black color on the wrapper.
I just smoked two of these Ciao’s back to back and this cigar wass pretty consistent from start to finish. It has a rich sweet soil earthy style with a brown spice box quality and a mild coffee note. I have to say that I like this stick but, it is not what I remember an Italia to taste like.
I just looked at my last review of the Ciao and it sounds completely different than this one. Maybe the color of the Habano wrapper does have a big impact on the flavor profile.
