Tabak Especial Negra Soft Press Cigar Review

This 6x54 stick is produced exclusively for Corona Cigar company and features a dark chocolate toothy firmly packed wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, large double cap, oval press and pungent sweet chocolate aroma. First light reveals a slightly snug draw with plentiful medium bodied smoke output showing just a strong artificial cherry sweetness from the cap and a smooth finish that hints at a chocolate. The first third backs off the overbearing sweetness and brings out a subtle cocoa mixing in with a sweetnlow type flavor, both on the draw and finish. 35 minutes in at the 1/2 way point flavors remain the same while the ash drops in 1/8" sections. Ending at the hour mark, the last third dropped all the sweetness going to a deep earth and cocoa.
