Don Vidal - Maduro

The Don Vidal line which is rolled in Villa Gonzalez in Santiago, Dominican Republic with a four-blend aged Cuban-seed and Dominican long filler tobacco and binder. A hearty Mexican broadleaf maduro wrapper gives this tasty treat it’s full, robust flavor character. Each cigar produced undergoes a eight-point quality control inspection that stems from tobacco selection through the final packaging process. The Don Vidal line is available in just 3 shapes & sizes including the torpedo our panel favored. The line is also available in a Connecticut Shade Claro wrapper, but we much preferred the full-tasting maduro. The line has been highly rated in Smoke Magazine, Wine & Dine, and Cigar Lovers. They’re not widely distributed and we’ve be trying to line this particular smoke up for close to 6 months now as we know you’re gonna really enjoy it!

You’ll first note an evenly dark rich looking, rustic Mexican broadleaf wrapper. We found the draw effortless and ample blue billows of smoke from this well-constructed torpedo. It’s packed moderately. Not too firm and certainly not soft. For those who have been confused with cigars described as offering Coffee and Chocolate flavors, this beauty should clear things up. We found very pronounced coffee and chocolate flavors with emphasis on the Java! The four year aged maduro wrapper contributes to a full, rich, robust and satisfying flavor. Overall, quite satisfying and very well made. A strong coffee drink would accentuate this smoke nicely.
