The craftsmanship of Costa Robusto
The excellence of Costa Robusto is rooted in the rich soil of Nicaragua, where the character of these exceptional cigars is forged. Inspired by Cuban methods, TABACOSTA gives its tobacco leaves a recognized quality, the fruit of a meticulous three-month maturing process. A quest for authenticity that gives each cigar its distinctive taste signature.
In this showcase of expertise, the "entubao" rolling technique is given pride of place. The mastery of this art, revealed by the rollers with over two decades of experience, promises impeccable construction. The delicate structuring of air passages within the cigar ensures a harmonious release of aromas for a tasting experience that echoes tradition.
A handpicked mix of leaves
The leaves that make up the heart of Costa Robusto come from a triply selected blend, where each variety contributes to the overall aromatic balance. Chosen for their complementarity, they hold within them the promise of a steady burn and a palate of flavors that blossoms with every draw.
The rigorous tasting process to which they are subjected guarantees a consistent aromatic profile, affirming with certainty this cigar's rank among lovers of noble volutes.
The precision of controlled refining
After their birth, Costa Robusto wines catch their breath in the ESCAPARATE, an ageing room where cedar wood cradles the maturation process. For three months, constant humidity of 69% and a stable temperature of 20°C perfect the character of these masterpieces.
This crucial step ensures ideal structural and taste homogeneity, stabilizing the complex flavors that will unfold under the smoky skies of aficionados.
Visual and tactile features
The Costa Robusto comes in a smooth, uniform cape, whose hue oscillates between caramel and mahogany, a faithful reflection of its Nicaraguan heritage. Its appearance is reminiscent of the delicate texture of Armenian paper, promising a comfortable, solid grip.
With its precise dimensions - a length of 127 mm and a diameter of 19.84 mm - it reveals a classic silhouette, a reliable representative of the iconic robusto. A format in harmony with the expectations of purists, who appreciate precision and balance.
Taste buds and power profile
A corkscrew through its volutes reveals a profile of medium strength, reflecting balance and refinement. The Costa Robusto offers a tasting experience where roundness and complexity are king, a promise kept with every waft of smoke.
Its spicy nuances, coupled with hints of earth and leather, conjure up a richness of taste that appeals to novices eager to learn as well as seasoned connoisseurs. It's a sensory journey to the heart of a vibrant cultural heritage, carried by a history of aromas inscribed in every leaf.
