It’s day 2 of our look at cigars that are wallet friendly for when the budget is tight. Today we look at Dos Hombre which is one of the top selling brands at 2GuysCigars.com. It’s a bundle cigar which many premium cigar smokers tend to overlook. But when you are talking about bang for your buck, I challenge anyone to find a cigar as good as Dos Hombre at the price.
Cigar Review: Dos Hombre Honduran
Wrapper: Ecuador Connecticut Shade
Binder: Honduras
Filler: Honduras
Length: 5″
Ring Gauge: 50
Size: Robusto
The Look: The Dos Hombres Natural comes in bundles of 20. The cigars feature a Connecticut Shade wrapper that has some oils present and is flawlessly rolled. There are a few thin veins present and the simple band the adorns the cigar is red with the Two Guys logo and the words Dos Hombre. In the hand the cigar has no voids in tobacco or soft spots and the foot of the cigar is well packed.
The Notes: The cold draw is nutty with elements of peanuts and a touch of earth while the aroma off the foot has a trace amount of earthiness to it.
Once the cigar is lit there is some notes of earth and peanuts which mimic that of the cold draw. There is also an aroma that it buttery rich much like that of baking butter cookies. On the retrohale the buttery richness and the cigar has a long earthy finish at this point.
In the second third the nuttiness experienced in the first third remains but it moves toward the background as some notes of licorice develop. On the finish there is an element of toast and earth and is shorter in length than the first third. The retrohale has elements of subtle spice and a slight floral component.
Moving on to the last third the licorice remains but some of the floral notes experienced on the retrohale make it on to the palate with a rich buttery finish. The finish is moderate in length.
The Finish: Although the Dos Hombre is a bundled cigar it doesn’t come off as one right down to the amount of tobacco used. Let’s face it, many bundles are under-filled but this long filler cigar could easily be in a box and command twice the price. The profile provides complexity and the cigar is enjoyable. Add those two items to the exceptional burn and the result is a cigar of great value.
