E Nobel – Petit Dominican Blend

Filed under Cigar Reviews {no comments}

The Danes have a long history of cigar production. Nobel have been produce cigarillo cigars for years. These dry cured cigars use 100% pure tobaccos from a ****************(info to follow, data sheet at work). The Petits come in rigid card board boxes of 20. There are 3 varieties, The Dominican, Sumatra and Fine Sumatra. In the past i have smoked a few packs of the Sumatra and Fine Sumatra, the Sumatra models have a spicy taste(some what lighter in the Fine Sumatra).

Rolled in : Holland
Wrapper : Dominican
Binder : ——
Filler : ——–
Size: 3 1/2″ x 28

These cigars have a rich and sweet Dominican aroma. These cigars are made to be smoked dry, this is obvious when opening the pack. In the past i have had a few cracked cigars, this is a common issue with Dry European cigars. The pre light draw was sweet with a little cedar on the edges. The light was easy and my taste buds where treated to a dose of rich and sweet smoke. The cigar did burn a little hot for a wee mini like this, but the flavours made up for it. The cigar remained sweet with a cedar/woody side which gave way to a tasty coffee flavour towards the end. While the cigar began smooth and light, it picked up a little body by the end.

All in all a great little smoke. Something sweet without being artificial. Sweet Dominican tobacco flavours, accompanied by cedar tones. A great alternative to Cafe Creme or those looking to switch from cigarettes to cigars. You do have to pay a little extra but with all of the Petit its worth it. The cigars do smoke better if you keep them in a humidor, a few days will do. The added moisture reduces the heat from the smoke and slows the burn a little. Other than the heat id recommend these cigars to anyone, smooth and sweet.
