Name: A. Turrent Triple Play Puro Maduro Robusto

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 inches x 50)

Strength: Medium

The A. Turrent Triple Play Puro Maduro is a medium-bodied cigar with a decent burn and taste. I paired it with pilsner and got hints of coffee, leather, and cedar.

It’s not a cigar that I would smoke at my favorite lounge to analyze its nuances with other dilettantes and aficionados, but it’s definitely one that I would smoke occasionally when I’m hiking in nature or lighting up the picnic grill.

Overall, it’s a well-made stick that anyone can enjoy with a drink or two.

Strength: Medium

Medium-bodied. Aromatic. Big. Beautifully-made. I just love this cigar. It burns for quite a while and delivers a great amount of smoke.

I love burning these sticks when I’m in nature, when I’m hiking or camping, or when I’m at a cigar lounge participating in long conversations.

If you’re looking to slow down time and clear your head, the OX Blue Velvet by Horacio is a cigar made for that purpose. It is an aromatic and somewhat complex cigar that burns beautifully and gives a good amount of smoke.

Pairing it with a double espresso and then with a glass of Havana Club 7, I got hints of salted caramel, clove, and cayenne.

Overall, it was an excellent experience.
