This posting 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: triple-fermented Costa Rican Maduro
Fillers: Dominican and Nicaraguan
Size: 5 x 56
Dark roasted coffee notes right off the light. Many have described this cigar with an espresso like quality and I have to agree. Overall this Gordo has a soil earthy profile, dark roasted coffee notes, burnt toast, and deep roasted tobacco flavors for a medium bodied robust smoking experience. With these roasted flavor notes I am going to give this cigar a 6.5 on my strength scale. I believe the texture has a wool like feel. I have seen the flavors and the mouthfeel described as, ‘buttery-smooth and creamy.’ Must have been a politician writing the tasting notes there.
5:1 oddsThe last two cigars will be posted next Saturday in preparation of March Matching.
