Size: 5 x 48 Factory: Fabrica de Oveja Negra, Nicaragua Origin: Nicaragua Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan (Esteli, Condega, Ometepe) Tasting Notes: Dark cocoa, roasted coffee, brown sugar, black pepper, earth, mineral, baking spice If Descending Shadows is the spiciest blend in the HDA lineup, the Robusto is the most concentrated version of it. The smaller 5 x 48 format puts that Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper right in your face from the jump, and the pepper and baking spice hit earlier and with more intensity than the Toro. The Esteli, Condega, and Ometepe fillers still bring the dark cocoa and coffee, but the shorter format compresses the flavor transitions. You're getting the full experience in a tighter window. This is the one you reach for when you want bold, spicy, and complex but you're working with a shorter smoke window. Shop the HDA Descending Shadows Robusto now at Creekside Cigar Co.
