Nicarao Especial

Medium to full body cigars, tasting NICARAO ESPECIAL involves a combination of tastes and aromas. The aromatic spectrum is powerful and yet subtle and diverse. Diversity and intensity evolve throughout the tasting. NICARAO ESPECIAL delivers character, balance, and richness.

Strength: #6½ to #7 fortaleza – Medium body cigar.
Blend: Nicaraguan puro (wrapper, binder and filler) with habano (sp.) wrapper slightly oscuro from Jalapa. Selected from the best parcels, leaves are classified with higher precision and aged an additional year.
Leaves Ages: Moderately aged leaves from 3 to 6 years (one and a half to two extra years of aging than standard market leaves)
Aromas & Taste: Aromatic depth and well-rounded richness. Woody, spicy and toasty.
Progression: Subtle and marked evolution.
Combustion: Easy and complete.
Ashes: Solid, compact and white.

A classic for sophisticated aficionados looking for a dynamic experience of aromatic richness, both in diversity and intensity. With its controlled strength, NICARAO ESPECIAL is suitable for all palates but will clearly impress a more discerning palate able to recognise richness and balance.

Created in 2007, NICARAO ESPECIAL is blended to demonstrate the impact that three apparently small improvements can have on the final cigar tasting. NICARAO ESPECIAL is the result of (1) better quality leaf selection in the field , (2) a much finer leaf classification and (3) one extra year of leaf aging. This creates a significant influence on both the blend and the flavour on the palate.

(This was presented and declared Best Cigar at the Cigar Underground Festival in 2008.)

SIZE BY CIGAR

HERMOSO

5 ½ x 48 - L 140 mm x ø 19.05 mm

Hermoso is medium size, but nevertheless offers the advantage of good length coupled with nice intermediate diameter sufficient enough to develop beautifully rounded aromas.

TORITO

4 ½ x 54 - L 114 mm x ø 21.43 mm

NICARAO ESPECIAL Torito is a small thick Robusto ... or just a small Toro; a Torito! With a volume almost identical to the classic Robusto, this cigar offers enthusiasts a shorter, more intense tasting. A perfect serious cigar for an aficionado who is short on time.

PETIT SALOMON

5 x 54 - L 127 mm x ø 21.43 mm

As its name suggests the NICARAO ESPECIAL Petit Salomon is a small figurado. It offers a perfect tasting experience, is well presented and expresses a special palette of tastes and aromas.

TORO

6 x 52 - L 152 mm x ø 20.64 mm

This was the first of the NICARAO ESPECIAL line. The Toro was the first NICARAO ESPECIAL to be created. Slightly larger and longer than a classic Robusto, the Toro delivers a deeper and more intense tasting and a longer progression. The Toro is the perfect vitola for NICARAO ESPECIAL aficionados.

GORDO

5 x 56 - L 127 mm x ø 22.23 mm

The Gordo is a large Robusto. In keeping with the trend of larger sizes, the challenge of NICARAO ESPECIAL Gordo was to find the right ‘big’ ring gauge for a given length, and at the same time stay committed to the particular characteristics of our distinctive NICARAO ESPECIAL blend: richness, taste, strength, elegance and consistency.

TORO DOBLE

5 ½ x 58 - L 140 mm x ø 23.02 mm

With 50% more leaves than a classic Robusto, the NICARAO ESPECIAL Doble Toro is among the most popular big size cigars currently in vogue. The combination of diameter and length of this vitola creates a real explosion of aromas and tastes. It can also develop into a long and spectacular tasting progression.
