Sosa Wavell Maduro

The Sosa family has been in the cigar industry since the early 1900's in Cuba. They began as tobacco growers and later transitioned into the manufacturing and distribution of premium hand rolled cigars. They began small at the turn of the century but by the 1920's, Santa Julia, their hacienda in the Las Villas region of Cuba, became known and respected for its superior quality products and the family moved its operation to the Dominican Republic. Today the company, headed by master blender Juan B. Sosa, distributes six premium brands of cigars: Sosa, Sosa Family Selection, Macabi, El Imperio Cubano, E. Trinidad by Sosa, and Royal Honduras. The company also owns and operates a chain of cigar shops in the Miami area under the Macabi Shops name. In 1995 Sosa joined forces with the Fuente family to make the Sosa brand in Fuente’s Santiago-based complex and later Macabi and the Sosa Family Selection as well. Get ready for a treat. You’re gonna love it!

Immediately note the kind of flawless construction that you would expect from the Fuente family. We found it not only pleasant to the touch and eye, but also offering a perfect draw and cool, even burn. Look for another complex flavor profile consisting of and earthy Dominican spice as well as some rich sweet tobacco notes. Its aroma is pleasant, soft and mellow. This cigar would be a perfect end to a big, garlic-saturated Italian dinner. Consider pairing this smoke with a full-bodied, dry, roasted Stout.
