Description

The Jas Sum Kral Red Knight Robusto exemplifies boutique Nicaraguan artistry, handcrafted at the Plasencia factory in Estelí. Measuring 5 1/4 inches long by 50 ring gauge, its Ecuadorian Habano wrapper in reddish-brown sheen overlays a binder of Mexican San Andrés and Nicaraguan Jalapa Seco, with fillers blending Corojo ’99, Jalapa Ligero, Estelí Viso, and Jalapa Seco for full-bodied potency. The cold draw hints at black pepper, espresso, and nougat, igniting into a medium-full profile. The first third unleashes bold seeded jalapeño spice and white pepper, laced with creamy nuts, toasted oak, and dark chocolate. Mid-smoke shifts to dominant leather and espresso, tempered by caramel, earth, and subtle sweetness, while the finale intensifies with cedar, black coffee, and mineral notes. Exceptional construction ensures an even burn, solid ash, and cool draw over 90–120 minutes. Suited to veterans, it pairs seamlessly with peaty single malts or porters, capturing Jas Sum Kral’s signature bold harmony. Refined transitions and depth make it a collector’s gem, free of harsh edges.
