Like most enthusiasts, I love the rich, chewy flavors of Liga Privada. And, despite not being a huge fan of corona sizes in general, I am especially fond of the Dirty Rat vitola. The Dirty Rat is small, but it’s loaded with big, complex flavors. There’s a sugary sweetness throughout that’s highly appealing and nicely contrasts a dank earthiness and undertones of oak and raisin. The smoke emits an oily, charcoal-like aroma that fills the room. For a little cigar and short burn, the Dirty Rat always satisfies.

Ometepe tobacco is one of the most unique in the world. So unique, I always, instantly recognize the presence of these leaves when they’re in a cigar. The earthy and rich flavors have an incredibly distinctive twang. The strength is felt in my head, just behind the eyes, and has a calming effect. Plasencia Alma del Fuego employs both binder and fillers from the volcanic soils of Ometepe, marrying them skillfully with vintage Jalapa tobaccos to complete a cigar built perfectly for me. Earth. Leather. Oak. Spice. Espresso. Stone fruit. Twang. Seriously, it’s all in there and it will calm your soul.
