SALUD AMOR CLASSIC 60X6

The foot of the cigar is sweet like a sugar cookie but it also has elements of cinnamon and almonds. It was so enjoyable that my coworker got annoyed with me and said, “are you going to cut that cigar or just sniff it all day?”. The cold draw of the cigar definitive mesquite flavor with hints of almonds.

Once this Honduran puro is lit there is a subtle spice on the palate and a strong spice through the nose much like getting too much wasabi under your tongue while dining on sushi. Once the spice tones down considerably in the first quarter-inch a distinct almost note develops.

In the second third of the Eiroa it develops some sweetness especially from the aroma of the cigar. The sugar like sweetness is joined by some notes of kiwi. As we pass the halfway point the kiwi fades away and is replaced by cedar and a return of the aforementioned notes of almonds.

Entering the last third of the Eiroa the cedar aroma becomes dominant and noticeable to those around me as well. There is a return of hints of kiwi, but the finish is a definitive almond with some coffee that was introduced at the end of the cigar.
