Black Pearl "Rojo Series" by La Perla Habana

La Perla Habana is one of the most coveted brands produced today. Two of the industry's most respected entrepreneurs took it upon themselves to recreate this well-known Cuban brand in the Dominican Republic. Sergio Cuevas and Doug Wood have created a cigar in which commitment, quality, and flavor are the sole concerns. Using closely guarded techniques to age and blend the tobaccos, these men have produced a cigar that is worthy of the name, the Pearl of Habana. We think they've done an exceptional job with this highly rated line right down to the level of detail in re-creating the band to exacting standards. The Black Pearl is the strongest cigar made by La Perla. The wrapper is a handsome, coffee-black (that's without cream!) Oscuro Habana Criollo. It encases a complex, full-flavored blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican Corojo Ligero long leaves. This is a full-bodied smoke with a complex and spicy flavor profile. Expect hints of nuts and a slightly peppery, cedary note in the finish. Consider pairing it with a well-aged Cabernet.
