Factory: Fabrica de Tabacos NicaSueño
RoMa Craft Neanderthal Genetic Deformity is a limited-edition, flat-capped petite robusto that reimagines the Neanderthal blend with a distinctive barber-pole wrapper of Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and Ecuadorian Habano. Produced in Nicaragua at Fabrica de Tabacos NicaSueño, it uses a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a powerful filler blend of Pennsylvania Green River One Sucker Double Ligero, Nicaraguan tobaccos, and Dominican Olor.
The cigar opens with dark cocoa, espresso, leather, oak, earth, mineral notes, and an assertive pepper kick. Through the middle, mocha, dark chocolate, graham cracker, charred wood, caramel, and a subtle sweetness develop around the dense core. The final third leans into coffee bean, black pepper, leather, dry earth, spice, and a long, creamy finish.
Genetic Deformity is a rich, full-bodied cigar with serious strength and concentrated flavor. Its complex mix of dark chocolate, coffee, oak, leather, earth, caramel, cream, and pepper makes it best suited to experienced smokers and pairs particularly well with espresso, cask-strength bourbon, or dark rum.
