Omar Ortez has been in the cigar blending game for a long time, and what better cigar to represent the legend’s knowledge than the one that bears his name. The Omar Ortez Original is an amazing full-bodied Nicaraguan puro that is a prime example of what a great cigar should taste like. Just like most things Ortez produces, this stick does not have flashy bands or a colorful box, but what you get is a pure smoking experience.
Packaged in bundles of 20, the Omar Ortez original is everything you would expect from the Nicaraguan cigar. Full of flavor, body, and bite right from the get-go, this cigar grabs a hold of your taste buds from the first light and doesn’t let up. Pepper and spice are almost overwhelming at first but as the cigar burns down more of the earthy flavors emerge. There is a great balance to the notes that this cigar exhibits from beginning to end.
There is no better compliment to a cigar than a master blender willing to put his name on it. The Omar Ortez Original is a flavor bomb waiting for ignition. Best enjoyed after a full meal, this cigar could overpower if not enjoyed over a long relaxing night on a deck.
