The Serino Royale Maduro XX Sublime, crafted under the expertise of Anthony Serino, is a testament to the artistry that can be found in every cigar. Boasting a rich, full-bodied profile that maintains impeccable balance, this cigar is a delightful journey through a carefully curated blend of tobaccos. The Ecuadorian Havana 2000 Oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobaccos come together to create a harmonious smoking experience.
The first impression is striking. The Serino Royale Maduro XX Sublime is a beautiful cigar with a smooth brown wrapper that exudes a velvety sheen, inviting enthusiasts to indulge in its visual appeal.
Upon lighting, the initial draw reveals a medley of flavors. The palate is treated to the comforting notes of coffee, accompanied by an underlying nutty essence. The creamy texture adds a layer of sophistication, reminiscent of sourdough bread with salted butter. A subtle introduction of leather and spice notes further enhances the complexity of this stage.
As the journey progresses into the second third, the coffee notes gracefully dissipate, making way for the intensification of nuttiness, resembling the decadence of an almond joy candy. The backdrop of bread and salt notes persists, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable experience.
In the final third, the Serino Royale Maduro XX Sublime maintains its consistency while introducing new dimensions. Cedar notes emerge, contributing a pleasant woody character to the profile. The pepper and earthiness become more pronounced, adding a satisfying depth to the overall flavor profile.
The construction of the Serino Royale Maduro XX Sublime is exemplary, contributing to a very pleasant smoking experience. The marriage of creaminess with the nuanced flavor notes showcases the meticulous craftsmanship behind this blend. Suitable for both experienced smokers and novices, the cigar delivers a solid burn and draw, making it a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts. Consider adding a box to your collection.
