Maria Mancini Classic De Gaulle

Worth knowing

We don't know if the famous French general and later president would have smoked this short Robusto - in any case, his name fits perfectly to this characterful and tradition-conscious cigar with a smoking time of about 50 - 60 minutes!

Aroma

Despite all the inevitable similarities, this series has succeeded magnificently in giving the individual formats their own flavour profile. The grassy, herbal freshness is more prominent than the cedar notes; at the same time, the smoke is somewhat sweeter than the Corona, for example. The velvety smooth smoke texture also brings nutty roasted aromas, the taste of white or toast bread and a hint of cocoa to the palate as it progresses; the strength remains in the lower mid-range almost throughout, so that even the inexperienced need not shy away from this extremely fairly priced cigar.
