“The draw is what I would consider to be very good. This is a medium to full cigar that could make its way into my regular rotation.” – Matt C. The body and complexity although not thru the roof is a very pleasant experience. The brown sugar although subtle on the exhale is now present with the espresso, earth, leather and nuts. It’s been a pretty solid cigar throughout.” – Alan (Eulogy) “There is a burnt caramel flavor from time to time that adds a great dimension, but it is mostly a sweet tobacco, cedar, and slightly stronger pepper than the previous third. The retro-hale has picked up a sweetness to it, and the mineral is almost completely drowned out now.” – Jeff (ExpendableYouth) Blind Cigar Review: La Tribu | Gran Corona Final Third Flavor: 93 The smoke output is still really good, but the cap is still crushing pretty hard. “As I continue into the second-third the pepper has begun to die down a bit and I am now getting a richer leather, cedar, and grass profile. The level of pepper has backed off quite a bit but still lingers i Save & Exit n the back of the throat.” – Alan (Eulogy) It works really well with the cedar and leather flavors. “There’s a nice sweet tobacco flavor that has become the dominant flavor. Ash is good, tight, and goes about a little over an inch.” – Robert (NavyPiper) Second Third Flavor: 90 Draw was good, burn is good-not perfectly straight but seems to even itself out, so didn’t need to tough it up. After that it was a pretty even combination of pepper, leather, savory spices, and some sage. “First third was a flat out blast of pepper for roughly the first ½”. The retro-hale is a woody mineral.” – Jeff (ExpendableYouth) I am hoping as I continue on the pepper will subside a bit since it is almost overwhelming for me right now. There is also a rich cedar, and leather that complement the spice quite nicely. There is an immediate black of dark oily mouth coating black pepper. “The cap seems to be severely under filled, and compacts down considerably from just the weight of my lips. (Big Matt) Blind Cigar Review: La Tribu | Gran Corona First Third Flavor: 90 Postlight the aroma filling my backyard is of a traditional cigar and I really like it: pepper, leather, and rich aged tobacco… no sweetness.” – Matt C. “Prelight I found brown sugar, dried fruit and subtle barnyard notes. There is a double cap, but it is applied fairly poorly and is slightly bunched at the top cap.” – Alan (Eulogy) Aroma: 89 The wrapper is uneven in color from the top of the cigar to the bottom and even the front to the back varying from a light and dark brown. “I suppose that rustic would be the nicest way to describe the wrapper. (Big Matt)Ĭontributed by: Atlantic Cigar Initial Impressions Appearance: 88 ![]() Number of reviewers: 4 – Alan(Eulogy) Jeff (ExpendableYouth) Robert (NavyPiper) Matt C. The focus of La Tribu is quality over quantity, done in small batches to ensure perfection. The highest levels of quality control are incorporated in the production of this cigar from draw testing to weighing each cigar. The true flavors of the tobacco are allowed to shine, never sacrificing flavor for appearance and never altering the true natural essence of the tobacco. The cigars were minimally processed using natural techniques, then aged in cedar cabinets. The blend is comprised of an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Dominican binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos. This was accomplished with the help of top blends from each of these countries. The result is a cigar with a flavor profile that is a combination of Cuban, Nicaraguan and Dominican. The result is a cigar that is reminiscent of the great Cuban cigars of the past with a modern day twist using the very best tobaccos grown today. The team spent countless hours studying, learning and developing a specific approach for the creation of this cigar.
