 Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua, Balmoral Cigars, Dominican Republic, Gran Robusto, Massivo, Nicaragua Habano It was nice to get reacquainted with this Nicaraguan Habano wrapped Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua Massivo (Gran Robusto) by Balmoral Cigars (RIP Balmoral) and its earthy dark coffee tobacco flavors on this morning’s 3.5-Mile Cigar Walk.

I’ve really enjoyed the line of Balmoral Cigars their unique blends of Cuban-Seen Brazilian tobaccos they’ve included in their blends… it too bad the Balmoral Company is no longer around. Now I have to ration what I have left in the box!

Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua, Balmoral Cigars, Dominican Republic, Gran Robusto, Massivo, Nicaragua Habano Today I got to enjoy one of my best finds of the relaunch of my Cigar Hobby in the Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua Massivo (Gran Robusto) that I smoked in an undisclosed parking lot…

Through a very open draw that produced volumes of smoke, I had nothing but smiles for this smoking experience.

It is too bad that Balmoral is on its way out at least to the U.S. market and will no longer be available… so I purchased a few boxes of Balmoral Cigars that included this Anejo XO Nicaragua

The Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua Massivo (Gran Robusto) is a beautifully constructed and gorgeous looking cigar

Once lit, volumes of smoke come through a perfect draw from this firmly packed cigar. Earthy tobacco flavors come forward with something sweet that I can’t quite put my finger on… and, the retrohale has a respectable bit of spice.

Today, the flavors from this Balmoral Anejo XO Nicaragua are complex for the first time with this Vitola… meaning I just want to sit back and sip on this luxurious tobacco and I may just do that as some company just arrived at my table; so I’ll have to wander through the conversations that mean I’ll have to revisit this cigar again soon.

I have another one in the TupperDor that I will definitely stay focused on…

In the meantime,
Stay Smoky
