Flavor Ladder
Initial impressions: The Colorado wrapper immediately imparts a distinct woody sweetness, accompanied by roasted nuts and subtle caramel notes. Thanks to the Box-Pressed closure, the draw resistance is extremely comfortable, and the vapor is plentiful and refreshing. Mid-section: As combustion progresses, the flavors evolve into deeper notes, revealing high-purity chocolate, cedarwood, and the minerality characteristic of Nicaraguan soil. The palate ranges from medium to full-bodied, exhibiting excellent balance. Finish: The finish is remarkably smooth, with rich leather aromas, cinnamon spice, and a distinctly sweet aftertaste. Even at the very end, there is no bitterness, showcasing the founder's level of premium quality.
Reasons for recommendation
- A tribute to the founder's masterpiece: Named after a family patriarch, the Eduardo I represents the Parasé family's unwavering commitment to quality. This series, which received a remarkable 94 points from Cigar Aficionado , is the crown jewel of the brand.
- The secret recipe for ten-year aging: The core blend uses rare tobacco leaves that have been aged for over ten years. This extremely long natural fermentation process removes the harshness of the originally strong Nicaraguan tobacco leaves, leaving behind a silky smooth texture like velvet.
- Exquisite color aesthetics: Made with the unique reddish-brown Colorado wrapper from the Jalapa region, this wrapper not only exudes a noble visual quality but also provides a richer sweetness and aroma than the regular version.
