Hand rolled in Estelí, Nicaragua

Filler: Habano-Criollo grown in Nicaragua aged four years

Binder: Habano-Corojo Nicaragua

Corojo leaves tend to have a spicy, robust taste with notes of black pepper, earth, leather, cocoa, and cedar. They tend to be very oily and have a distinctly reddish-brown color.

Wrapper: shade-grown Habano Ecuador Rosado

One of the uncommon wrapper shades is Rosado, which translates to “rosy” or “pinkish” in Spanish. These wrappers have a distinct reddish hue and are extremely difficult to grow.

Sublimes Cigar

The Sublimes cigar stared in South Florida in Little Havana.

Sublimes according to the dictionary; not to be excelled; supreme.

This is a very beautiful, extremely well crafted cigar.

The wrapper has small veins with a great looking brown color with a hue of redness.

The seams are very tight; you have to look hard to see them.

An expertly and flawlessly, crafted the cap.

The foot tells the story of this cigar’s superb craftsmanship.

You can see the different type of tobaccos used to develop a controlled delivery of flavor.

The construction of this cigar feels very firm between the fingers with no soft spots. The cigar has a silky texture with a luster of oil.

The Sublimes cigar cut easily producing a clean edge.

The pre-light draw was wonderful with just the correct amount of resistance. The cigar toasted quickly and lit evenly across the foot of the cigar.

The first puff produced a little spice with a hint of black pepper, some coffee and chocolate. Very tasty

The first third of this fine cigar continued to develop great flavors, spicy with notes of cedar, coffee, chocolate, and pepper. None of the flavors were over powering they all worked seamlessly together. This cigar was a pleasure to smoke.

The second third flavors continued the same as the first third. No harshness or off flavors only great tasting smoke.

The last third of this smoke increased with the existing flavors with the addition of a little sweetness. The cedar, coffee and chocolate remained but the pepper was completely gone.

I enjoyed this cigar to the very end and was not happy when I had to take the last puff.

The Sublimes was a very fine and enjoyable smoke. The evenness of the delivery of great flavors is a tribute to the fine craftsmanship, the expert selection of tobaccos and the aging process. You will find a few of these cigars in my humidor.
