E. Zarzuela Torpedo

[itsme_timd]

DBCcigar introduced me to La Casa del Tabaco in Buckhead and we've met up there a few times to smoke, BS and have a couple drinks. La Casa is owned by Pablo Nunez and Eddy Fontana - Eddy makes the E. Zarzuela cigars as well as a few others, like the Regalo for Mike at Leaf and Ale.

If you'd like to try some of their cigars here's a link to their site where they have a shop locator, or if you're in Atlanta stop by La Casa del Tabaco.

Dog Watch recently featured Eddy's E. Zarazuela cigar as a cigar of the week, they were also going to call him for an interview on DWCR to talk about his cigars. We started chatting about that and I wanted to try one of the cigars, so...

PRE-LIGHT
This is a gorgeous cigar, slightly mottled in light to medium brown. A firm cigar with a slightly dry shiny wrapper. It cut easily and the cold draw was excellent, just a slight resistance, and produced rich and sweet tobacco flavors.

SMOKING
What a great cigar! Mildly complex with some spice, sweetness and slight oakiness that mingled throughout. The burn quality was good overall requiring a minor touch up or two. I enjoyed this cigar while on an eHerf and got over 2 hours of smoke time out of it. The cigar produced rich plumes of smoke and was never stingy on the draw.
