Cigar Musings

Today, I stopped by the Tobacco Barn and I was fortunate enough to run intoJesus Fuego introducing his new line of cigars and one in particular is the J. Fuego Sangre de Toro. Jesus handed me the belicoso size, (5.5 x 52). This is a Nicaraguan cigar made with dark Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper and blended with aged Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo fillers binded with a Nicaraguan Criollo binder. When he told me it consisted of Corojo, I knew it was going to be a good cigar. He told me it is a full body cigar and had given him a buzz. After I lit this cigar and took my first smoke, I could taste the Corojo. The flavor was smooth and consistent… It was a woodsy, nutty flavor with a hint of chocolate.

I noticed the ash to this cigar was clinging on really well with this cigar, it didn’t leave a messy pile of ashes behind, the ash would just break off in nice little clumps.

I didn’t notice a powerful flavor until I got towards the end and it picked up quite a bit. I have to admit, this cigar started giving me a buzz as well which doesn’t happen to me very often. I know Tobacco Barn is going to start carrying this cigar and I can’t wait for the first shipment to come in.

Thank you for the great smoke, Mr. Fuego.
