What it tastes like
The Costa Rican Maduro wrapper sits over a Nicaraguan binder and a Honduran-Nicaraguan filler. Expect dark chocolate and espresso up front, a firm black pepper, and leather and earth underneath. It's a full-bodied smoke — bold and spicy like the Corojo, but with a sweeter, darker character and a long, rich finish.
