I finally get another chance to find out what everybody’s been waxing poetic about. The RoMa Craft Aquitaine (Cranium) is my cigar today.
A snip and a clip on this beautifully constructed cigar provide an aroma of musty earth on the cold draw.
The Aquitaine starts off with a tighter draw than I like, so I’ll probably snip a tad bit more off the cap. Deep earthy flavors come to me as I tug on this with a dry nuttiness with a little white pepper spice on the retrohale.
Soon, smooth cream oak, earth and leather with a coffee finish at the end of the first third, the pepper spice is starting to ramp up on the retrohale and my ash is hanging on at a little over an inch
At the second third and I’m calling this is a solid creamy earthy leathery cigar. I’ve been at it for almost an hour now, so this is going to be a long smoke and I’m diggin’ it. I think next time I’ll try a shorter Aquitaine, maybe the Knuckle Dragger (Petite Robusto) will fit the time allocation. The Neanderthal was a two-hour smoking experience.
