Experience

The Bandolero Picaros starts off with a prominent earth note that is complimented by a pepper taste and spice that envelopes the tongue. On the back of the palate I found citrus. It is not presented as the sourness of a lemon, but more of the oiliness of citrus zest. There is a slight woody sweetness that exists throughout the finish of profile. I found the Bandolero Picaros to be of medium body and strength. The flavor profile is robust. Every note presents itself and takes a moment of glory to let you know it’s there. The flavors do shift around a bit, but remain generally the same throughout. This flavor profile is not generally my favorite, but the cigar provided enough intrigue to keep me going back to see what was next. I found myself envisioning enjoying this cigar in Autumn or Winter around a campfire.

Pairing

This cigar would pair well with a woodier bourbon or scotch. Also, a spicier cider would bring out some contrasting notes.
