Smoked: All Saints St. Francis Colorado

Smoked at: West Chester, Ohio

All Saints St. Francis Colorado robusto is a box pressed Nicaraguan cloaked in a smooth light brown Colorado shade wrapper that appears and tastes very much like a Connecticut Shade. “If it quacks like a duck“ doesn’t quite apply, but it’s close. If I didn’t know it was a Colorado, I would think it was a Connecticut Shade wrapper – certainly in taste.

Flavors: cashews, cedar, vanilla creaminess, dried fruit, some earthiness, and very minimal pepper. Spice pops in during the second third, but also very mild, subtle. The retrohale includes a little more pepper and some earthy and nut notes.

The construction was flawless – perfect draw, spot on dead even burn line, put the torch away burn line, mucho plenty smoke output and stayed that way to the nub. This was fast burning cigar.

All Saints St. Francis Colorado is a mellow medium-mild shade. It’s similar to the Liga Undercrown Shade. I paired it with a cup of Costa Rican. This cigar pairs very well with morning coffee.
