Description

The RoMa Craft Intemperance VO 1920 Belle Livingstone is a masterful premium cigar from the acclaimed Intemperance Volstead 1920 series, paying homage to Belle Livingstone, the infamous speakeasy hostess of Prohibition-era Manhattan. Measuring precisely 4½ inches in length with a 52 ring gauge robusto vitola, this Nicaraguan puro is meticulously handcrafted at the legendary TAVICUSA factory in Estelí. Its striking Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed maduro wrapper, oily and veined with reddish undertones, cloaks a Mexican San Andrés binder and a robust filler blend of aged Dominican Corojo ’98 and Nicaraguan Criollo tobacco, delivering medium strength and body that evolves enticingly over a 45-60 minute smoke. Upon lighting, expect an immediate burst of creamy coffee and dark chocolate, laced with spicy black pepper that dances across the palate without overwhelming. Mid-smoke transitions reveal earthy leather, toasted nuts, and subtle sweetness of molasses and dried figs, underpinned by a mineral tang and hints of citrus zest for balance. The finale intensifies with rich cocoa, charred oak, and a lingering white pepper retrohale, finishing clean and complex on a resilient Nicaraguan backbone. Retoasting enhances its finesse, making it versatile for solo reflection or social indulgence. Highly rated at 92-94 points across reviews, this gem embodies RoMa Craft’s rebellious artistry—bold yet refined, Prohibition spirit captured in leaf form.
