Flavor Profile
The Aladino Elegante Maduro delivers a complex and balanced flavor experience, with the following notes highlighted by reviewers:
-
First third: Earthy tobacco, oak, coffee, leather, and a spicy black pepper kick. A mineral edge is present on the finish, with some sweet tobacco and saltiness on the lips.
-
Mid-smoke: Pepper and leather fade slightly, but pepper remains a major component. A light yeasty bread note appears, while earthiness recedes. The wood and pepper intensify, and the cigar’s strength increases to medium-plus as the body approaches medium-full.
-
Final third: Cedar and espresso become more prominent, with black pepper as a constant. The cigar maintains a medium to medium-plus strength and a medium body, with a finish that is both balanced and satisfying.
Additional flavors noted in the Aladino Maduro line include cocoa, coffee, maduro sweetness, earth, cedar, wood, and a touch of mineral and salt. There is also a sweet and spicy interplay reminiscent of chocolate cake with red pepper and cinnamon.
