The Brioso Maduro Gigante was manufactured by the famed General Cigar Company which is behind some of the best cigars in the world like Cohiba, Macanudo, and CAO, to name a few, and Brioso cigars are held to the same strict quality control. Hailing from Nicaragua, this weighty 60-ring gauge smoke features a dark Maduro wrapper, a habano binder, and a blend of Dominican seco and ligero tobaccos with Nicaraguan and Mexican long-fillers. Give the foot a toast and give it a puff to find notes of cedar, spice, black pepper, and cocoa. Delightful from beginning to end, pair this medium bodied smoke with an espresso.
The Nicaraguan cigar industry originated when Cuban cigar makers escaped the revolution and re-established their livelihood in Nicaragua with Cuban-seed tobacco. Blessed with dark, rich soil, their new home was ideal for tobacco cultivation and Nicaragua quickly became known for cigars that rivaled Cuban quality. Unfortunately, revolution and war came to Nicaragua in the 1980s and devastated the industry, but it’s rebounded dramatically and is once again producing tobacco considered by many to be the finest in the world.
The Esteli Valley is in many ways the heart of Nicaraguan production and is known for its very powerful and spicy tobacco. The Jalapa Valley produces arguably the finest tobacco in the country: somewhat sweeter and less intense than Esteli, but extremely complex. The tobacco of the Condega Valley is often described as a blend of the other two regions.
