RoMa Craft CroMagnon Blockhead Gran Toro Press LE

The CroMagnon Blockhead Gran Toro LE is a limited-production offering which introduces a box-pressed vitola into the greater Aquitaine line. A popular variant of the original CroMagnon blend, the Aquitaine instead uses a dark brown Ecuadorian Habano Ligero wrapper with reddish undertones on a Cameroon binder, similar to the one utilized in the regular CroMagnon line. A filler blend with leaves from Estelí, Condega, and a small farm near the Honduran border called Pueblo Nuevo, the third leaf is Ligero, and together it brings a smoky, savory essence to the blend as a whole. The flavor profile is highly complex, encompassing noted nuances of wood, baking spice, nuts, floral essence, dried cherry, and cocoa. Never harsh, even with pepper toward the end this full-bodied cigar burns cool; its draw is always fluid and its burn razor-sharp. Fans of the Aquitaine overall will really enjoy this new take on the blend thanks to the box-press, while those who simply enjoy big-bodied cigars will revel in an unparalleled smoking experience.
