Description

The RoMa Craft Intemperance VO 1920 Roy Olmstead is a captivating belicoso torpedo from the storied Intemperance Volstead 1920 collection, saluting Roy Olmstead, Seattle’s suave Prohibition-era bootlegger who ran a sophisticated wireless operation. Precisely 5½ inches long by 54 ring gauge, this Nicaraguan puro hails from TAVICUSA factory in Estelí, draped in a two-year-aged Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed maduro wrapper—glossy, ruggedly veined—over a Mexican San Andrés binder and a dynamic filler of Dominican Corojo ’98 alongside Nicaraguan Criollos from Condega, Jalapa, and Pueblo Nuevo regions. Medium-bodied, it unfolds over a luxurious 75-90 minute ritual. Light up for an elegant cedar and spice greeting, laced with dark chocolate and robust coffee, evolving into leathery earth and toasted cashew sweetness. Mid-smoke introduces baking spices, molasses depth, and citrus vibrancy for seamless balance, while the tapered head concentrates white pepper retrohales and mineral nuances. The finale crescendos with charred oak, roasted nuts, and creamy persistence, rewarding retoasts with amplified finesse. Versatile for dusk reflections or convivial evenings, it earns 93+ acclaim for its poised power. RoMa Craft channels bootlegger ingenuity into tobacco mastery—refined rebellion in every draw.
