Setting The Bar For Figuarado Cigars, 22nd Mar 2017
Reviewer: The Cigar Authority
The aroma off of the foot and wrapper of Andalusian Bull is as complex as a pre-light experience can get. There are hints of nougat, molasses, cedar and hay. With the cap clipped the cold draw is chewy with notes of mocha and caramel and more molasses.
With a cigar of this size it is important to use the proper light. I’ve alluded to the fact before, that I own multiple lighters for different cigars and with the large foot on this smoke, I chose my quad flame Vertigo Champ. With the foot toasted and lit there was more caramel right out of the gate. As we progressed through the first third, hints of leather, black cherry and chestnuts created the beginnings of a masterpiece.
Moving on to the second third of the cigar I am surprised by the lack of pepper and spice on the retrohale. In fact the retrohale adds to the overall sweetness of this cigar. Around the half-way point of the cigar, notes of black cherry really begin to shine as leather and nuts linger in the background.
As we conclude the final third of this offering from La Flor Dominicana notes of caramel and black cherry continue to linger as the leather component becomes more subtle. There is some espresso on the finish with some nuttiness. The retrohale sees the introduction of some black pepper in the final inch.
