5 | Cigar | Nicaragua, 42

""Pressed and rough in appearance, with a nice, easy draw. The cigar has dusty, cocoa notes, with a toasty walnut taste and medium body." August 04

"A rustic and box-pressed cigar. It draws well, but burns unevenly. The smoke is peppery, with heavy, woodsy flavors." 06-00

Recently scoring a 91 from Cigar Aficionado, the La Riqueza No. 1 comes from the same maker of the famous Tatuaje brand, Pete Johnson. It uses a gorgeous Connecticut broadleaf wrapper that covers all Nicaraguan tobaccos and finished in true Cuban tradition with a triple cap and slight box press. This medium bodied blend displays significant coffee bean, leather and earth flavors that linger on the palate. This boutique brand can either be enjoyed now or put away to age
