Made as the official CSWC cigar and rolled at Tavicusa, this San Andrés‑wrapped blend is tuned for endurance: a dark wrapper over Nicaraguan binder with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers produces a profile built to hold interest during long sessions. Expect espresso and cocoa up front, cedar and earth through the core, and a recurring brown‑sugar sweetness that keeps the palate engaged. The Mareva (competition vitola), Robusto and Toro all show steady smoke output and firm ash—traits valuable in hours‑long slow‑smokes—while strength lands in the medium to medium‑full zone. If you want a San Andrés maduro that won't fatigue over extended time at the table, this one is purpose‑built for that role.
