Quick Smoke: Casa Fernandez (CRA Exclusive)
19 Dec 2009
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This six-inch cigar, which came in the sampler that’s available only to CRA members, is a previously unavailable size of the original Casa Fernandez blend. It is built with Cuban-seed corojo tobacco grown in Nicaragua. The sungrown wrapper is clean with a fair amount of oils, and the smooth, medium-bodied flavor is reminiscent of roasted nuts, sweet caramel, and pepper. Delightful from beginning to end with nearly perfect combustion qualities.
Verdict = Buy.
