WRAPPER: Ecuador Shade
BINDER: Sumatra
FILLER: Nicaragua,Pennsylvania and Dominican republic
Size – Robusto (5×50)
Almost perfect draw with just enough resistance.
1st ⅓ – On this third I was greeted with a nice white pepper note with some warming spices.
2nd ⅓ -The white pepper remains as well as the warming spices but I am also getting some graham cracker and a little cocoa note.
Final ⅓ – The only difference on the final ⅓ is a slight bitter note that is not unpleasant. Like a really dark chocolate.
Coffee pairing Bettergoods Single Origin Coffee
Paired with: Bettergoods Single Origin Coffee. Sumatra with zero sugar italian sweet cream coffee creamer.
The slightly fruity and nutty notes from the coffee really complimented the slight spice and bitter coffee and cocoa notes of the cigar. This is why I prefer coffee with shade and Connecticut cigars.
