Nicarao La Preferida Short Robusto
Worth knowing
If you don't have more than about 45 minutes, but still want to enjoy this great blend - a collaboration between Messrs. Houvenaghel and Fernández - reach for this short one, which is cute only on the outside, to soak up the full power of the blend.
Flavors
That the short version of the "Preferida" sells particularly well has not only to do with the trendy "short smoke" format, but certainly with the incredible compactness of the flavor. Slightly sweetened black espresso meets freshly turned peat, oak ethereal notes meet nutmeg and cinnamon tones, the sweetness of caramel or forest honey meets a pleasant subtle spiciness. The series-typical leather note is also present from start to finish, and in the 2nd half of the somewhat more than medium-strength cigar, the distinctive roasted flavors pick up even more speed.

Nicarao
Nicarao gilt als ein bodenständiges und renommiertes Unternehmen der Zigarrenbranche, dessen Produkte bei keinem Einzelhändler fehlen dürfen. Hinter der Marke steht ein Mann, der Geschichte schrieb: Didier Houvenaghel. Der belgische Agrarökonom schrieb seine Magisterarbeit an der Universität von Pinar del Rio, einer der renommiertesten Hochschulen in Kuba. Währenddessen wuchs die Idee und der Traum, er könne eine eigene Zigarrenlinie kreieren. Der Belgier hatte eine Schwäche für die kubanische Kultur und war fasziniert von der handwerklich anspruchsvollen und traditionsreichen Arbeit der Zigarrenherstellung. Aus einem vagen Traum wuchs ein fundierter Geschäftsplan, der Houvenaghel später mit der Marke Nicarao viel Erfolg ernten ließ. Doch der Weg dahin war lang und steinig. Die damals instabile politische Situation hinderte den späteren Gründer des Hauses Nicarao sich in Kuba niederzulassen und dort seinem Traum nachzugehen. Er reiste notgedrungen umher – immer auf der Suche nach einem für ihn und seine Pläne perfekten Ort. Der Agrarökonom hatte von Anfang an hohe Ansprüche an sich und sein Geschäftsmodell. So war es ihm zum Beispiel sehr wichtig, ideale Bodenverhältnisse und das passende Mikroklima zu finden. In Nicaragua wurde er schließlich fündig, wo er auch seine erste eigene Firma unter dem Namen Nicarao gründete. Der Legende nach steht der Name für einen Indianerhäuptling, der während des 16. Jahrhunderts lebte und am Nicaraguasee seinen eigenen Stamm führte. Der Häuptling war bekannt für Intelligenz und Tugend und entdeckte der Überlieferung zufolge die Wirkung der Tabakblätter. Nach ihm soll auch das Land Nicaragua benannt sein.

The Martin Wess brand was founded in 1919 in Offenbach, Hesse, and for decades was known for its luxurious leather pipe cases. The increasing demand for equally luxurious leather cigar cases prompted the Kurth family to expand the brand's range to include them. Meanwhile, the range includes a variety of luxurious leather cases in different sizes and embossings.
Product Info
The outer sides of the black top and bottom of the Martin Wess 589 Dante Black 3 Case Short Robusto is made of cowhide leather. The respective insides of the case are lined with goatskin, which on the one hand keeps the moisture of the cigars better in the case and on the other hand the odeur of the leather harmonizes perfectly with that of the cigars. The leather cases of the Martin Wess 589 Dante series are available in different embossings, for example in crocodile leather - optics or as in this case with a smooth surface. The elaborate stitching running around half of the case is testimony to the excellent art of saddlery. In the length-adjustable Martin Wess 589 Dante Black 3-piece case Short Robusto, up to 3 cigars up to a length of 11 cm can be safely transported.
The name Boveda comes from the Spanish and translates into German as vaulted cellar. It is a patented product for humidity control that has been specially developed for use in cigar cases, countertop and travelling humidors. Each Humipak contains a saturated solution of natural salts and pure water, protected by a bi-directional permeable membrane. With the Boveda Humipaks, you no longer have to remember to top up the water reservoir in your humidor, as you simply have to replace the corresponding number of Boveda Paks in the humidor every 2 - 3 months. The Humipaks release treated moisture and significantly reduce the risk of bacteria, mould or fungi developing in the humidor compared to other humidification systems. The Humipaks also prevent fluctuations in the moisture balance, allowing the cigars to mature perfectly. The constant moisture balance preserves the natural oils and sucrose, allowing cigars to improve with age.
If you've ever tried to roll a cigar yourself at an event, you'll really appreciate the skill of the rollers - but unfortunately there's always the odd ‘Monday copy’. With this ingenious tool, you no longer have to be annoyed by cigars that are rolled too tightly - simply place the drill bit at the cut end of the head, turn it as straight as possible into the cigar until the end of the spiral and drill a little more if necessary. In this way, unwanted leaf pieces are not pushed to the side, but remain in the drill and can be pulled out. The product is inspired by a dentist's tool and makes every cigar draw!
