TL;DR - worthy of it's "Reserva" name. Hickory core, dark espresso; a meaty, lush journey. Recommended. 👍 7 mos aged ⏳️ My first La Aroma de Cuba of any kind. Pre-light is fragrant aged tobacco. 👌 Light-up easy; Goldilocks draw. Starts as dark espresso and Hickory. 1/3 in, toasted Hickory drives the core. Roasted hazelnut appears now and again. The smoke is lush, likely reminiscent of the wrapper's San Andrés roots. It's now meaty too. Genuinely special: Chef's kiss. 💋 Wow. Meaty Hickory continues in the last 3rd. Something herbal joins as a decent addition. Not distracting. Just when I thought it couldn't get better. The finish is meaty with salted dark chocolate. Come on. Overall this was much better than I expected. Medium strength. I have a box, and I'll be needing more. Pair with a sophisticated red wine 🍷 perhaps?
