Under the direction of master grower Sergio Cuevas, the Yumuri's tobacco is meticulously cured and fermented. The labor intensive, hands-on process of perfection is still used today to produce a consistently mild-blend tobacco. The brand has received favorable reviews from quite a number of varied sources including an 86 in CA which noted that it was a "Top cigar in its class." Well respected industry reviewer, Dave Scott awarded the line 17.6 out of 20 points, commenting that (it) "Reminded me of high quality Dominican brands, and could be enjoyed with your morning coffee without being overbearing. This one's a keeper."
This is a fine looking cigar. A nice amount of tobacco, but not packed to densely such that your draw would be affected. The wrapper is oily, rich and inviting. We found the 1492 line to offer a big woody aroma up front. The flavor is full with a somewhat natural sweet tobacco taste combined with a bit of spice. The body is mild-to-medium and it picks up a bit of steam as you get into it. Look for a hint of leather on the finish. Overall, a relatively mild and very pleasant smoke. Try pairing it with a traditional hefeweizen.
