Description
From the vintage Cuban-esque bands to the cabinet style box, Herrera Esteli screams Cuba. And the glue sealing the whole thing together is the blend. Oh-so-creamy, yet highly representative of Cuban cigars of old. Crisp, clean notes of spices, cedar, cream, and roasted nuts are the backbone, as occasional hints of white pepper and semi-sweet vanilla weave masterfully throughout. Initial puffs foreshadow a medium-bodied profile, but the slow burn begins to unveil a different story, as it inches toward a medium to full-bodied crescendo.In addition to multiple 93-ratings, Herrera Esteli received a well-deserved 94-rating as well as #8 Cigar of 2014 and #15 Cigar of 2021. The panel noted: "...medium body, with notes of spice—both earthy and sweet—and a long, long finish."
