Blanco Liga Exclusiva de Familia Robusto

WRAPPER: Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro (American)

BINDER: Nicaraguan

FILLERS: Nicaraguan

100% Whole-Leaf Long Filler

Very smooth Maduro wrapper, cedar notes on wrapper and foot. Clean clip on a firm bunch, perfect draw with bittersweet notes.

Initial draw provides the expected punch of a Pennsylvania Maduro along with cedar and some sweetness. Drinking a Topo Chico today.



The draw is allowing large amounts of smoke that is developing white pepper notes on the roof of the mouth and in the retrohale.

Solid light grey ash and an even burn, along with the draw, are speaking very highly of the cigar's construction. Deep round flavors from the Nicaraguan binder and filler are complementing the rich tobacco notes of the wrapper.

At 1/3 the cigar is smoking very cool and full flavor with a solid medium body base. Ash dropped right at 1/3.



A light purge at 1/2 chases away a hint of bitterness that had crept into the flavors. Clearing the ash shows a nice clean conical burn.

Some deep cocoa notes are developing just before the cigar hits the 2/3 mark. This is a very nice example of Nicaraguan tobacco wrapped in Pennsylvania broadleaf. If you like that profile you will like this cigar.



A nice long sweet finish added a bit of sweetness to the mineral water, which was an unexpected bonus. Burned to the final inch. A very pleasant complex cigar, the Blanco also boasts excellent construction and earns 9/10. Joe Bob says check it out.
