Leonel Rare D'Or 6x60

Worth knowing

Actually, the brand of importer Paul Bugge is rather famous for moderate, subtle blends. However, this new series made from pure Nicaraguan tobaccos also puts a satisfied smile on the face of friends of stronger tobaccos - this Gordo for around 1 ½ hours.

Aroma

As you would expect, the baroque format immediately envelops the aficionado's palate in thick, comforting clouds of smoke. The extremely creamy smoke does not miss the Leonel-typical balance for a second, but comes across as much more robust than the classic line. Here, full-bodied roasted aromas dominate the taste - from mocha beans to fresh bread crust to malty-earthy facets. Underpinned by subtle caramel and liquorice sweetness, piquant spiciness and chocolaty notes also unfold again and again during the smoke. The strength is in the well-kept mid-range.
