Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo
Filler: Nicaraguan and Dominican
Price: $7.00
A couple months ago, my local shop had an event for Miami Cigar Co. They had a buy one get one free deal, with a limit of one per customer. The free cigar they gave out was the Art Deco. I had never had it before that day so I figured, “Free cigar? Why not?” So my father and I both bought a cigar from Miami Cigar Co, and each got a free one of these. Well he didn’t want his because he only smokes mild cigars. So I saved his to do this review on.
The cigar itself looks very well constructed. The corojo wrapper is a chocolate shade with an earthy aroma to it. The cap is perfectly flush with the wrapper, and there are no big veins throughout this cigar. The cigar itself is very solid so I know it’s going to be a good hour long stick.
This cigar starts off quite spicy with a mild earthy tone to it. The flavor slowly but surely becomes leathery and leaves that flavor on the palate. After about an inch the leathery flavor subsides and leaves just a little bit of spice along with the generic tobacco flavor.
By the halfway point of this cigar, the majority of its flavor was gone. It wasn’t until about the start of the last third of this cigar that the flavor opened up a little bit again. More spice and woody notes came into play. The finish of this stick was mainly all spice. There were no hidden undertones, no subtle flavors to grab. It was quite anticlimactic.
This cigar had one of the whitest ashes I have ever had on a cigar. It was pretty strong as well. The burn was surprisingly fast and even. The cigar only lasted about forty minutes. The draw was effortless as well with this cigar. The smoke was thick and plentiful and the aroma was nice and spicy.
If you’re out there looking for a flavorful cigar, walk away from this one. If you like your cigars to be mainly just spice, then this one might be for you. This is a cigar I could forget about. There was nothing that great about the flavor. But for construction purposes I feel this cigar deserves a 6.75 out of 10.
Enjoy,
