The Elenor Rose Lady 48, a cigar named with purpose and depth, pays homage to its Ecuador Rosado wrapper and expresses the Serino family’s passion for the craft, symbolized by the delicate rose. With musical inspiration intertwined in its branding, this cigar promises a harmonious experience. Let’s delve into the journey of the Elenor Rose.
The cigar presents an inviting facade with a chocolate brown complexion, adorned with a shiny hue. Its construction is impeccable, and the veins, carefully etched like brushstrokes, give the impression of an artist’s touch.
Upon lighting, the Elenor Rose makes a robust entrance. The initial draw reveals a symphony of flavors, dominated by a peppery kick, accompanied by notes of rich leather, hickory, and a delightful nuttiness.
As the journey progresses, the pepper persists, now intertwined with earthy tones. A subtle hint of caramel makes an appearance, while the leather and nuttiness gracefully recede. A surprising note of graham cracker adds a layer of sweetness to the ensemble.
In the concluding segment, the Elenor Rose maintains its peppery and leathery profile, with a nuanced touch of cinnamon. While reminiscent of the second third, the finale offers a satisfying and consistent flavor profile.
The Elenor Rose is a thoroughly enjoyable cigar, ideal for those seeking a medium-bodied smoke with a pronounced pepper punch. Despite its visual and tactile appeal, some STARS noted issues with keeping the cigar lit.
