La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor

If I remember correctly, this was the 6X52 Magnifico size. I bought it from W. Curtis Draper Tobacconist in D.C. during their Foursquare/cigar tasting event. I bought this one to get a cigar free. I paid just under $9.00 for this cigar.

It had a thick, dark, oily wrapperr. Very tight cigar, well made for sure. It was a flat box pressed cigar with a very nice and elaborate double band.

After eating a delicious turkey burger at Shelly's Back Room, I straight cut this cigar and lit it up. I tried to use matches but gave up and went to butane to finish it off.

I paired it with yuengling beer and it had a very nice smooth, leathery taste to start with lot's of smoke. The draw a bit tight at first though.

The ash was nice and white. I knocked off the first ash after 3/4 in and it ashed easily.

I smoked the second 1/2 with @thisisnotevan and @sboyajian. This was a great cigar and I would put it in the medium category. I loved it and would buy it again. Although, it would have to be a special occasion due to the price.

From Cigar.com:

Handcrafted under the supervision of Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua, La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor is an excellent cigar, blended to create a complex experience that completely satisfies your entire palate.

La Aroma de Cuba is an old-time brand with a unique and dedicated following. The blends under this line all maintain light complexities while remaining medium-bodied to create a balanced experience between strength and flavor. Now made in Nicaragua at Don Pepin Garcia's new factory, the La Aroma de Cuba brand remains consistent from start to finish and features some of the best tobaccos money can buy.

Mi Amor is simply an excellent addition to the La Aroma line. The blend brings a full-flavored but medium-bodied maduro to the mix and creates a hearty finish. Outside, you'll find a dark Cuban-seed Mexican maduro wrapper that conceals a flavorful concoction of Nicaraguan long leaves from Nicaragua's top growing regions. As the blend burns, you'll find espresso and coffee-like flavors throughout, all masked by earthy undertones and notes of black pepper. With a smooth, creamy smoke and long-lasting finish, expect Mi Amor to increase in strength from head to foot while still producing a well-balanced finish that you'll want to experience again and again.
