Bellas Artes Maduro Robusto

First Third

This cigar starts off with a bang, chocolate brownie with a kick of ginger spice.

Second Third

The profile gets a little darker and creamier, like a dark chocolate mousse.

Final Third

A slight vegetal note enters early, then the back half goes very dark, with predominantly espresso and leather, and a light chocolate underneath. Construction throughout was flawless.

Final Thoughts

This cigar doesn't go through dramatic flavor shifts, but what it does have, it has in spades, and that's more than enough.
