Balmoral Puro Dominicana, affordable and accessible

After the Puro Nicaragua range, Balmoral continues to explore different regions with the Puro Dominicana, which came out a few weeks ago in France. There are two cigars in the range: the Petit Robusto FT (109 mm x 48) and the Rothschild Masivo, which particularly caught our eye.

A rough maduro wrapper. The cold draw features sweet notes. The draw is loose, and the start is spicy with a few toasted notes; it can get a little hot, but the fire soon fades. The smoke rapidly becomes creamy and serves up woody flavors. Little change going forward. The thick smoke creates a woody and spicy ambience, despite a sometimes-capricious burn. The finish is dominated by wood ash. An affordable cigar with a good flavor profile.
