Construction and Draw
The Dominican Corojo wrapper is a flawless, reddish-brown leaf draped over an undisclosed binder and a carefully selected mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, reflecting Cavalier Genève’s dedication to artisanal blending. The Figurado vitola is masterfully crafted with precise shaping and symmetry, ensuring an even burn and evolving flavor progression as the ring gauge changes throughout the smoke. The cold draw reveals cocoa husk, sweet hay, and a touch of dried fruit. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains sharp with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that hold firmly, underscoring impeccable construction.
