Carefully crafted by hand in Nicaragua by cigar artisan Jose 'Don Pepin' Garcia, the Edicion Especial is enchanting through and through. On the outside, a leathery Cuban-seed wrapper glistens with oils. Grown in the misty valleys of Ecuador, this flavorful leaf conceals a robust mixture of aged Cuban-seed long-fillers from the black, volcanic soils of Nicaragua. Together, these tobaccos produce a hearty experience layered with deep, toasty flavors. A silky bouquet smacks the palate with an earthy core of aromatic nuances supported by notes of cedar, leather, and white pepper. Medium to full-bodied, La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial is a satisfying, well-made cigar built for enjoyment.
In addition to a 94-point rating and 'Humidor Selection' honors, La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial was named one of the Top Cigars of 2020. The rating noted: "... intense woody, hickory notes that play off a vanilla sweetness for a long, reverberating finish."
