Construction and Draw
The Nicaraguan Viso Jalapa wrapper is a silky, medium-brown leaf with a soft sheen, flawlessly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, showcasing Cavalier Genève’s boutique craftsmanship. The Corona vitola is elegantly rolled with a firm, even pack and adorned with the brand’s signature 24-karat gold diamond accent. The cold draw offers sweet hay, cocoa, and a faint pepper note. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing aromatic, medium-density smoke. The burn line remains sharp with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms compact, light-gray stacks that hold well, reflecting careful construction.
