The Cigar: RoMa Craft Tobac Aquitaine Pestera Muierilor (4 x 46, NIC)


The Hype - The Aquitaine contains the same long-filler, full-bodied blend found in the US Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapped CroMagnon, including its unique Cameroon binder. However, the Aquitaine features a beautiful Ecuador Habano Ligero wrapper selected from the best tobacco we could find. This eighth and ninth priming ligero leaf is thick, oily and has amazing texture.

The filler leaf for this blend was acquired from three separate growing regions in Nicaragua: Esteli, Condega and a small farm north of Esteli on the Honduran border, Pueblo Nuevo. This third leaf, a ligero, brings a strong, smoky, savory flavor to the blend. When combined with the spicy characteristics of the habano wrapper, the exotic bite of the Cameroon binder and the clean finish of its viso and seco companions, the blend adds another dimension to the deep rich tobacco flavor we present in the CroMagnon.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

Thanks again to Clay for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :bigthumbs:

I would be interested and have smoked a few of these.  So if you end up needing someone I will jump aboard, but I will fly standby and let someone else enjoy this awesome cigar IMHO

This will be fun, thanks for stepping up to review.  I will have the packages out to you all in the next few days.  Had an idea with this one that might be fun.  In the package will be a CroMagnon Pestera Muierilor.  This is the same cigar except for the wrapper of the one you will be reviewing.  Try the CroMagnon after the Aquitaine and let us know what differences you pick up.  It is fun to see how big a difference just changing the wrapper on a cigar can have on the taste.  This would not be part of the review - just an optional activity.  Thanks again to our reviewers!

Packages are on their way.  Double check the cigar before you review it - the CroMagnon and the Aquitaine look very similar - even the band color is close (almost messed up when sending them out).  Thanks again guys.

Glad the cigars made it.  Thanks for stepping up on this one - it will be a quick turn around with the holidays upon us.  The deadline is December 30th to have your review in.  Hopefully you will all be able to carve out some review time soon.  Thanks again.

Cfickter

Hoping to have mine in tomorrow or Thursday

Clay, my critique is in as well, and I really appreciate you letting me participate in it! Do you want us to post on here what we think about the different wrappers on the pair, or somewhere else?
