A Nicaraguan tradition: Nicarao Especial Gordo (21)
Rising like a work of refined craftsmanship, the Nicarao Especial Gordo commands attention with its impressive proportions. It features a length of 127 mm and a generous diameter equivalent to a cepo of 56, offering a robust and satisfying tasting experience.
Far from being a chance creation, each cigar from this calibre is the result of a centuries-old legacy. The meticulous fermentation and aging of tobacco leaves, selected from Nicaragua's most fertile soils, attest to an unwavering dedication to quality.
Meticulous detailing and meticulous construction
The habano wrapper delicately envelops a bouquet of sorted tobacco, where each leaf is precisely arranged to ensure even combustion. This dense, compact cigar stands out for its ease of lighting, ushering in a symphony of aromas without the slightest hesitation. The draw is perfect and harmonious, making each puff a moment of pure coherence.
The aromas are immediately released, balanced and immediate, building to a sustained finish that subtly crowns the tasting without imposing itself. Especial Gordo embodies the mastery of Didier Houvenaghel and Abel Fernandez, two names that resonate with prestige in the world of cigars.
A sensory journey in every scroll
An abundance of smoke emanates from the Especial Gordo, rich and unctuous, carrying within it a mosaic of effluvia. The blend of tobaccos gives this creation a medium-bodied character, flirting with power without ever becoming overpowering, inviting aficionados on a moderately intense but oh-so-satisfying journey.
Over a period of 45 to 60 minutes - the estimated time required to appreciate it - this cigar offers a timeless escape, punctuated by woody notes and earthy accents, reflections of the terroir in which it was born. A taste journey carefully designed for those who appreciate every nuance.
Provenance and heritage
With its roots in the heart of Nicaragua, each leaf bears witness to the richness of a soil with singular virtues. The country's reputation for producing some of the world's finest tobacco gives Especial Gordo its unmistakable identity. It's not just a cigar you're tasting; it's a palpable history, woven through generations of expertise.
The process of growing, selecting, fermenting and ageing the tobaccos used in this cigar is part of a tradition of patience and excellence. This attention to detail at every stage reflects our respect for the raw material and our desire to create a product that pays homage to its lineage.
Meticulous aesthetics
The color of the cape, a rich brown that varies with the light, speaks of its quality. The surface, sometimes smooth and sometimes lightly veined, invites the eye to lose itself in the details. Even the elegantly designed ring suggests sophistication without artifice, heralding the experience that awaits the smoker.
Packaged with the same care and attention that went into its manufacture, Nicarao Especial Gordo is presented in such a way that each cigar promises a solemn function, an event that deserves recognition and appreciation commensurate with what it represents.
