Macanudo Inspirado Black Gordito Cigar

I enjoyed this cigar on a recent trip to Glasgow after it sitting in the humidor for about 12 weeks after purchasing it. The cigar looks lovely: well constructed with a nice oily (extremely) dark wrapper. It is about 4.5 inches in length and had a ring gauge of 54. It lit without a problem and burnt evenly without any touching up. From the first draw to the last puff, this was the perfect cigar for me. Bold flavours of rich coffee and dark chocolate combined with cedar notes (although the last one could have been from the humidor) made this a hugely tasty cigar but also it was creamy smooth throughout. I burnt it right down to a tiny nub before I had to admit that it was finished (plus my mate said that I was starting to look daft). This last well over an hour, but I would have happily had it for longer. The cigar didn't change throughout and I didn't notice it even getting hot towards the end. If lighter, delicate cigars are your thing then stay well away: this cigar is loaded with big flavours and was an absolute treat. Enjoyed with (several) whiskies. My new favourite cigar, I believe that this will become a regular in my humidor.

Was it the orange-ring? The Inspirado was premiered at IPCPR in black and white ring versions, with plans to release the European (orange) version as well.

No, this had a black ring with a gold edge and design, the text was red (or possibly a red-orange).
