La Aroma de Cuba Pasion Robusto Cigars
It took Ashton Cigars half a decade to introduce a new addition to their already world-class portfolio, but when La Aroma de Cuba Pasion Robusto hit the scene, the cigar world realized it was well worth the wait. The product of father-son team Jaime and Don Pepin Garcia of My Father Cigars, La Aroma de Cuba Pasion is the very first Nicaraguan Puro to wear a La Aroma de Cuba band. This means all tobacco used for this cigar is grown, cultivated, harvested, and cured in Nicaragua—wrapper, filler, and binder. We all know Nicaraguan puros are some of the best sticks around, but this one takes things up a notch. The unique wrapper leaf used for Pasion is a shade grown Nicaraguan leaf hailing from the Garcia family farms in Namanji, just East of Esteli. This region is about as ideal as it gets for growing tobacco, as the warm days, cool nights, and natural cloud cover shielding the area from the hot Nicaraguan sun lends to tobacco that is nothing but the best of the best. The Garcias obviously hit this one out of the ballpark, as it was promptly awarded a rock-solid 94 rating by Cigar Aficionado.
The clean, crisp packaging includes a luxurious white chest and ornate green and gold bands on each expertly rolled vitola. Speaking of construction, it is exactly what one would expect from something coming out of the world famous My Father factory, including a sharp burn, a long, tight ash, and a productive draw that paints the palate with each and every puff. Cedar is the main note at first light, soon followed by a sweet array of caramel, molasses, and nuts. The earthy core soon becomes the standout of the flavor profile, with bursts of white pepper between each puff. The finish is smooth, sweet, and spicy, and after all is said and done, this stick finishes smack dab between medium and full-bodied. The 5 ½" x 50 Robusto is stout and flavorful, offering a good chance to get acquainted with the blend.
A connoisseur's cigar to the "T," Pasion is blended for the experienced. The complex flavor profile, satisfying strength and body, and uncanny balance make this a cigar for those who have been there and done that, so to speak. Pasion pairs well with bourbon, red wine, or coffee, and makes for a wonderful celebration cigar. Similar sticks may include Flor de Las Antillas or My Father La Opulencia, two of the Garcia's other notable award-winning masterpieces. It was a long time coming, but La Aroma de Cuba Pasion Robusto is finally here, and if you are a fan of top shelf premium cigars, we are absolutely certain you'll love it!
