Joseph NicaVana Puro Cantata Rico Robusto Grande 11/3/18

 Appearance
The light brown wrapper has a few very thin veins. The seams are tightly wrapped and difficult to find. There is a nice oily sheen on the wrapper leaf. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Cedar, earth, graham cracker and spice on the wrapper. Cedar, fruit, honey graham’s and spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Cedar, licorice, earth, honey graham’s, Good & Plenty Candy(might have just dated myself) and a nice mild cinnamon spice.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar, graham cracker and nutmeg spice. At 5/8” into the cigar the burn is razor sharp and the draw is spot on. Earthy notes join the profile. The light gray ash is fairly tight with a couple of stack lines. Strength starts at medium but by the end of the 1st/3rd is at medium+. The ash holds straight and firm till removal.

2nd
The smoke production is at the low end of high range. The finish is long with notes of cedar, honey graham’s, earth, light roast coffee and nutmeg spice. The draw becomes effortless before the midway point of this delicious cigar. The very flavorful profile is very well balanced. Ash remains firm again till removal.

Final/3rd
Notes of cashew join the complex, well balanced and flavorful profile. Strength is still medium+. The coffee notes become more like espresso. A dash of cayenne pepper joins the nutmeg spice. Complex, well balanced and flavorful right to the nub.

Overall
The Joseph NicaVana Puro Cantata Rico Robusto Grande provides an extremely enjoyable smoking experience. A complex, well balanced and flavorful profile with an effortless draw and perfect burn. Definitely keeping these in my humi.
