San Lotano Requiem Maduro Robusto 11/10/19

 

Appearance
A dark chocolate colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins on an otherwise silky wrapper leaf. The seams are not visible. There is a nice oily sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Earth, cedar, chocolate and spice on the wrapper. Earth, chocolate, cedar and spice at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Chocolate, earth, cedar and spice.

1st
The initial draws bring notes of cedar, earth and dark chocolate with a hint of spice. The draw is a bit snug, I’m feeling it in my cheeks. The burn is almost perfect. The ash is medium gray and fairly tight. Halfway into the 1st/3rd the draw opens up. The smoke production is at the medium range. Strength is medium+. The ash held firm and straight until removal.

2nd
Toast notes join the well balanced and flavorful profile. Strength and body are at med/full. Smoke production is at the low end of high range. The finish is long with notes of cedar, earth, chocolate, toast, almond and warm cinnamon spice.

Final/3rd
The well balanced and flavorful profile rolls into the final/3rd. The profile remains consistent right to the nub.

Overall
The San Lotano Requiem Maduro Robusto provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced and flavorful profile with a perfect draw and burn.
