Tamboril Sumatra

The Tamboril Sumatran line is hand rolled in none other than Tamboril, Dominicana Republica where the Tamboril Cigar Co. also oversees production of their own cedar boxes. Tamboril was formed in 1995 when president Anthony Markofsky stumbled across an empty warehouse in Tamboril begging to be transformed into a cigar-manufacturing factory in one of the more renowned Dominican cigar manufacturing cities. It was easy for the company to acquire quality rollers as there were so many in the city already that were commuting 2 or 3 hours to work in other remote factories. The Sumatran cigars featured this month received the highest rating in the Tobacco Times Reviews since its inaugural Volume. Enjoy!

Immediately note the inviting, rich Colorado Maduro wrapper encasing this handsome cigar. Note and easy draw and even burn. A solid ash indicated proper aging. We found the aroma to be somewhat sweet, offering the scent of cocoa. Note big rich and somewhat spicy herbal tones in this medium-to-full-bodied cigar. We also picked up on some nutty characteristics and a trace of cedar. Look for a woody, dry finish. Overall, a complex, rich and full flavored, well-rounded smoke. Consider pairing it with a Single Malt Scotch.
