Flavours
Whoever thinks of Brazilian tobacco only as a lot of men's chocolate and a bit of pepper is wrong here. The complexity of the Robusto is exceptional in this price segment, – besides the typical cocoa note, there are straight mocha beans, the sweetness of black beer, soft leathery-woody astringency, ätheric hints of fruit residues, and more and more exotic spice flavour as the smoke progresses. The smoke seems magically silky, the aroma is very elegant for a filler. The smoke has a little more kick than the smaller sisters.

Alonso Menendez
The name Alonso Menendez is a well-known name among cigar lovers; most aficionados associate his name with the cigar brand originating from Brazil and the tobacco plantation located there. However, these were only founded in the 1960s by his son Felix in the Brazilian state of Bahia, near the capital Salvador on the Atlantic coast. Alonso himself was involved in the founding of the two well-known Cuban cigar brands Montecristo and H. Upmann and emigrated to Brazil after the Cuban revolution. The high-quality tobaccos from Brazil, especially the world-famous Mata Fina, are also used by well-known brands such as Davidoff in many blends for cigars, but cigars made purely from Brazilian tobaccos are still a rarity. The characteristics of Brazilian tobaccos are a wonderful contrast to those of Caribbean tobaccos.
