The latest offering from Oscar Valladares, The Maduro Robusto is Candela leaf-wrapped before being boxed which is something of a rarity within the cigar industry. Made at the Oscar Valladares factory in Honduras these are medium-strength cigars offering a pleasant experience. The wrapper is Mexican San Andres Maduro, the binder is from Honduras and the filler is a mixture of Honduras and Nicaraguan leaf.
The Maduro wrapper has a dark expresso look and oozes anticipation, the pre-light draw offers a myriad of flavours that spring to life on lighting up. Creamy notes with a little pepper and coffee. come through. The medium strength doesn’t build to anything unpleasant and as time passes the flavour becomes more aligned to expresso, oak, and hay.
