La Aroma De Cuba Noblesse Review

Noblesse Toro
Made by: La Aroma De Cuba – Ashton
Country: Ecuador, Nicaragua
Vitola: 6 1/2 by 52

Produced by Ashton, this cigar is a limited run of 3,000 boxes of 24. So naturally this is a “must smoke before it’s gone,” but lets see what characteristics the cigar has to offer and see if it justifies the price point. Knowing Ashton I have high expectations. Maybe it will live up to my hopes, we’ll see with a La Aroma De Cuba Noblesse Review.

Prelight

This cigar is showing lots of character just from the aesthetics. Of course that is a goal at this price point. Small to medium sized veins. Visible seams, and not much tooth visible. Expertly done cap, perfect and easy cut. The foot gives off a floral jasmine, cedar, and sweet hay. The prelight draw shows these flavors as well but with the addition of a white pepper. Let’s get this lit up and see how it performs.

1/3

The cigar lit evenly and quickly. Tons of mixed nuts on the front, slight bitter note on the finish. After a couple minutes the flavors open up and show macadamia nut and cashew on the front with a creamy cedar center. The finish is a light bitter cocoa powder. Medium to full body and low to medium strength. Extremely high complexity, and transitions are occurring very frequently and pretty distinctly. I’ll try to keep up with them in the next third.

2/3

Macadamia nut is up on the front, extremely balanced. Dry bitter cocoa powder maintaining on the finish, smoke production is up. There is a floral jasmine note in the center of the profile. No changes to body or strength. Cedar is coming up on the front and mixing with the nuts. Creaminess and floral jasmine are producing an odd middle flavor and dry cocoa is holding the finish as the second third comes to an end.

3/3

Cedar has taken over in the last several minutes accompanied by and undertone of oak. There is a white pepper taking the finish. Complexity is dropping and strength is at a medium. Body is still at a medium to full. The burn and smoke production have been wonderful throughout the cigar.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes

Conclusion: 93

This cigar justified the price point. Wonderful balance, high complexity. There were solid and defined transitions. The profile was a pretty unique one which is usually a good sign for the flavor category of the score. Definitely worth trying and keeping in rotation of celebratory cigars. Celebratory in the sense you just completed a long productive day of work. This is something that could be revisited upwards of once a week.
