Casa Carrillo La Historia El Senador Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Monday 06 October, 2025 by Matthew

Good God I underestimated how strong this was going to be. I'm still a beginner but thought I'd built up at least a bit of tolerance to nicotine - boy was I mistaken. Got a very bad case of nicotine sickness shortly after finishing it and still feeling slightly unwell the next day. That being said, the draw was perfect and the burn was very even with an ash that fell off consistently after about 3cm. Doesn't burn particularly hot but doesn't go out easily on its own either. Middle of the cigar became quite squishy halfway through. Here's what it was like flavour-wise: 1st third Quite mild which slowly turns into strong sweetness/sugariness 2nd third Sugariness still dominates but overall flavour gets bolder and earthier with hints of strong coffee. Some spice here and there. Final third Sugariness continues but almost becomes a sort of sugary spice. Very bold. Finishes with strong mintiness right to the end. Overall, for me, it wasn't as mind-blowing flavour-wise as is made out. It was certainly very nice and definitely had some complexity but it didn't stand out much from other maduros I've had. It's very similar in flavour to an Arturo Fuente Cubanito Maduro in that it's almost overwhelmingly sugary throughout.

This is in my top 10 favourite cigars. The flavour never disappoints and the construction and draw are perfect. If you like Mexican san andreas wrappers with Nicaraguan filler, you will love this cigar.

Very nice, I bought two. 1st I had when I purchased in may 21, nice but a little strong for me. I let the second mellow in my humidor for just shy of a year and it became much smoother and more creamy. IÂ’ll be buying again.

Has to be one of the smoothest Nicaraguan cigars I have ever enjoyed smoking, very happy with the purchase.

Classy smoke with great all round construction. Wrapper smelt chocolatey but did not get much of it, more pepper and spice.
