La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Valentino

The La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Valentino opens with a medium-full body, delivering a rich tapestry of dark chocolate, espresso roast, and sweet cedar over a base of leather, roasted nuts, and earthy spice. The retrohale adds black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of dried cherry, providing both warmth and subtle fruit brightness to the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into molasses, toasted walnut, and dark caramel, while the pepper mellows into a smooth, lingering undertone. A refined honeyed sweetness emerges, binding the cocoa, wood, and spice into a cohesive mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar deepens into bittersweet cocoa, charred oak, clove, and a trace of smoky espresso, finishing long, bold, and complex with resonant spice.

The Valentino vitola is masterfully rolled with a dark, oily Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, showing seamless construction, a clean triple cap, and a firm yet responsive pack. Cold draw reveals cocoa husk, cedar, and a hint of raisin. Upon lighting, the draw is perfect—slight resistance producing thick, velvety smoke with notable weight. The burn line remains sharp with minimal touch-ups, and the ash forms dense, medium-gray stacks that cling impressively between taps. Combustion is steady and cool despite the size, rewarding a slow, measured cadence.

Pair with GlenDronach 18 Year Allardice or Zacapa XO Rum; both complement the cigar’s chocolate, spice, and cedar while enhancing its natural sweetness and rounding the pepper on the retrohale.
