Construction and Draw
The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper is smooth and oily, expertly rolled over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The Sonata Maestro vitola is well-constructed with a firm, even pack and a flawless draw. The cold draw reveals aromas of sweet earth, cocoa husk, and toasted nuts. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless and produces thick, creamy smoke. The burn line remains sharp and even throughout, while ash forms solid, light gray columns that hold well, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship.
