Description

The PDR A Flores Gran Reserva Maduro Half Corona masterfully balances Dominican boldness in a compact 3 1/2-inch by 46 ring gauge format. Its dark, oily Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper veils a Dominican Olor binder and Nicaraguan Habano with Dominican Corojo fillers, hand-rolled via entubado for impeccable draw in tins of five, honouring blender Abe Flores. Ignition unleashes a 30-minute medium-bodied odyssey. Opening salvos yield rich dark chocolate and espresso, laced with charred cedar and volcanic earth. Midway, dried figs, black cherry sweetness, and white pepper surge, tempered by creamy leather and toasted nuts. The nub crescendos with balsamic tobacco nectar and lingering spice through voluminous, aromatic smoke with a razor-sharp ash. Ideal for postprandial intensity or bold breaks, store at 65–70% humidity. Pair with aged rum, porter, or double espresso. This Maduro gem fuses puissance, nuance, and value—a connoisseur’s tribute to Flores’ artistry.
