LA CAROLINA Cigar International

LA CAROLINA Cigar Internationalicon
This churchill cigar is 7" Long with a Ring Gauge of 48.
It has a red and gold label with a painting of a woman. The elegant painting on the wrapper reminded me of a Romeo Y Julieta cigar.
The wrapper is a colorado maduro with very few imperfections
It is medium/full-bodied, smooth, yummy, toasty, fruity and earthy.
The aroma is very pleasant with a floral scent.
The draw was great. The construction was good.

Each cigar is totally hand made with aged long leaf nicaraguan Binder and Fillers, wrapped in extra premium Wrappers. Every hand rolled cigar is made by the expert hands of the traditional Torcedores of Tabacalera Esteli. Just as the Cupido Cigars brand that these cigars were previously made under, LA CAROLINA Churchill are boxed in beautiful Cedar boxes handmade from the finest trees.They have that special naturally fruity tobacco taste and low nicotine content that made Cupido Cigars the top rated medium body cigar in America. Described as medium to full-bodied with loads of deep complex flavors.

History
Fine cigar maker Jose Alonso started LA CAROLINA during the 1840’s. This master roller knew he could make the best cigars in Cuba, and he did. The high quality and exceptional taste elevated the brand to become one of Cuba’s most demanded cigars. They became the cigars that aficionados in Cuba smoked and due to the limited quantities made, where not available in the international market. Now once again they are available to just a few cigar aficionados. Handmade in small batches with extraordinary attention to each and every detail, these cigars are crafted with exceptional hand-selected tobacco leaves from Tabacalera Esteli’s special harvest. Each leaf is comparable in looks and in taste as those that Jose Alonso hand rolled. Those that have the opportunity to smoke them will insist that they were made by Jose Alonso himself.
