SELECCION OSCURO
This bold and beautiful cigar uses wonderfully aged Nicaraguan long fillers with an Ecuadorian binder, these are then wrapped in a silky Mexican San Andrés Oscuro wrapper.
This smoke has obvious flavours of earth and spice to begin with, these flavours develop into a sweetness as the smoke develops. With underlying flavours of cedar, oak, pepper with the lingering sweetness this cigar is a must try for anyone!

94 / 100
"...The blend isn't as aggressive as one might think. While it's certainly full of assertive character, it's nuanced as well. This effect is produced by the creative blending of Mexican wrapper, Ecuadoran binder and Nicaraguan filler..."
