Flor de Copan Belicoso

As you can see the Flor de Copan Belicoso is quite a nice looking cigar. It comes wrapped in its own cedar strip held neatly in place by two bands at either extreme. Remove the cedar and you will see a very clean, light wrapper, with no blemishes or imperfections. It feels solid and thick. With this much attention to detail, one would think to be holding a winner. The fact that there is nothing on the nose of the pre-lit cigar, though, stirs up doubt.

A quick clip and light later, the doubt quickly materializes. The aroma of the cigar is very muted, almost no taste whatever to reward the smoker. There is also very little smoke in comparison to other similar cigars, and considering the large gauge.

I thought I'd give it more time before settling down my opinion of this one. So, on I went, first third, second third, and still just a very faint scent and flavor of a woody nature, but very flat, and lacking any merit worth mentioning. The one redeeming feature of the cigar is its easy combustion and the even hassle free burn. The ash is also above average.

Finally, well into the last third, as in a huge effort to put out some flavor the cigar yields some dry notes of cedar and maybe a tiny bit of spice, but by now I was already dreaming about the Cuban Crafters Robusto I was going to have after this.

A cigar that fails to get your attention throughout, the Flor de Copan Belicoso simply doesn't deliver. It's not that I am disappointed with about the light-bodied smoke; the cigar simply has no appreciable character I would ever imagine anyone would enjoy. Why a tabaclera would spend so much attention to detail for a cigar that isn't worth the cedar strip it’s wrapped in is beyond me.

If anyone out there has enjoyed this one, though, I'd be interested in your comments...
