Description

The Buenaventura Favoritos Red is a meticulously handcrafted Nicaraguan robusto cigar, measuring precisely 5 inches in length with a balanced 56 ring gauge, blending Curivari’s Cuban heritage at Tabacalera de Nicaragua. Its vibrant Nicaraguan Habano Rosado Jalapa wrapper—oily and reddish-brown—encases premium Nicaraguan Criollo binder and Jalapa Valley fillers for medium-bodied finesse. The flawless cap yields a cold draw of cedar, pepper, and faint citrus, heralding its progression. Ignition unleashes the first third’s lively profile: woody cedar, white pepper spice, and earthy undertones dominate the retrohale, with subtle hay notes and impeccable draw ensuring an even burn and firm ash. Midway, roasted almonds, leather, and gentle sweetness emerge, layering complexity without intensity. The finale intensifies with black pepper, toasted oak, and caramel whispers, resolving in a clean, lingering finish over 45 minutes. Available in boxes of 20, this Favoritos Red pairs ideally with bourbon or espresso, epitomising approachable elegance and consistent construction for daily rotation.
