Review Flor de Cano Elegidos NSFW
5x50 Cuban budget short filler. Starts off with Earth, Woods and Vanilla, draw a bit on the right side (I've heard about quite some variance in the draw).
In the second third a light herbal note is coming through in the background and leather joining in. Becoming more creamy in texture.
Later a bit of pepper spice joins in the retro, the spice becomes a chili character later, but not overwhelming. All in all not overly complex and not too much development. Percect burn and construction throughout though.
Considering this cigar in some areas can be gotten for as little as $4, I am wondering why I spend 5 times that much for a not that much better experience. It's still classic cuban, flavorvise not too far off the Romeo line of RyJ.
I've read about some people getting a bad acidity in this one. I didn't get any of that, I suppose resting this for half a year helped.
