Mas Igneus Short Robusto

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Mas Igneus Short Robusto opens with a bold medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate mix of dark cocoa, espresso crema, and charred oak underscored by a subtle dried fruit sweetness that adds intrigue. The retrohale intensifies the opening with bursts of black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of clove, providing warmth and complexity without overwhelming the palate. In the second third, notes of leather, roasted hazelnut, and molasses emerge, balanced by a silky creaminess that tempers the spice. The final third crescendos with concentrated coffee bean, bittersweet chocolate, and smoked cedar, leaving a long, satisfying finish of spice and earthy sweetness.

Construction and Draw
The dark, oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper is expertly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan fillers from prime growing regions, producing both depth and balance. The draw is perfect, offering slight resistance for concentrated flavor while generating thick, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains sharp with minimal corrections, and the ash forms dense, silver-gray stacks that hold well, reflecting precision craftsmanship.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
The ideal whisky pairing for the Mas Igneus Short Robusto is Glenfarclas 21, whose sherried notes of fig, toffee, and spiced oak harmonize with the cigar’s cocoa and espresso heart while adding a luxurious depth to the pairing.
