Ordered some of these up. Curious if they can match their cousins.
The Nica Rustica Shade is a study in refined balance. Dressed in a beautiful, silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, this cigar presents an elegant and inviting appearance that belies its robust lineage. The blend, which features a Mexican binder and a tri-country mix of fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Pennsylvania, is a testament to the art of blending. The result is a smooth, mellow-to-medium-bodied profile that delivers a symphony of flavors—expect notes of rich cream, toasted nuts, and a delicate cedar sweetness, all grounded by a subtle, perfectly-placed hint of spice on the finish. It’s a profile that captivates without overwhelming.
