Introducing Quintero Favoritos
Unveiled by Quintero, the Quintero Favoritos cigar delights lovers of robustos with its proposal of excellence at a more than affordable price. An ardent testament to Cuban skill, this little robusto comes with a rustic wrapper that testifies to its meticulous manufacture and authentic character. Wrapped tightly, its short tripe ensures an even burn and a reliable experience.
Design and Manufacturing
Favoritos, from the fertile Vuelta Abajo region, is hand-rolled, a tradition that perpetuates ancestral Cuban technique and know-how. Its wrapper, slightly rough to the touch, reveals a natural selection process, focusing on the intrinsic quality of the tobacco rather than mere aesthetics. This attention to detail is felt from the moment the tobacco is lit, promising a well-balanced taste journey.
Taste experience
The initial tasting reveals a rich creaminess, with cocoa gently asserting itself without monopolizing the palette. The transition to the second third marks a moderate rise in power, giving way to more pronounced herbaceous flavors, testimony to a masterful balance between strength and subtlety. The slightly softened finish concludes this cigar on a reassuring note, affirming its medium-potency profile.
Profile and Durability
The Quintero Favoritos measures 115 millimeters in length with a diameter of 19.81 millimeters, a conventional format that promises an estimated tasting time of between thirty and forty-five minutes. This interval gives connoisseurs the time they need to appreciate the complexity of its aromas, without requiring a considerable investment of time.
Legacy of Quintero
Founded in 1924 by Agustín Quintero and his brothers, the Quintero y Hermanos brand emerged from the shores of Cienfuegos, known for its tasty tobaccos. Although not as renowned as some of Havana's top houses, Quintero has forged a solid reputation, relying on tobacco blends that reflect the unique terroir of their regions of origin and a scrupulous respect for traditional cigar-making methods.
