Bellas Artes Gordo

The Bellas Artes Gordo, a Nicaraguan-made cigar measuring 6.5 inches in length and 58 ring gauge, boasts a distinctive Rojita hybrid wrapper, crafted from a proprietary blend of Havana 2000, Corojo '99, and Connecticut 8212 tobaccos. This one-of-a-kind wrapper encases a Nicaraguan binder and a carefully selected filler combination of tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, and Brazil, yielding a rich and multifaceted flavor experience. As the cigar is lit, it unleashes an initial burst of peppery spice, followed by a nuanced array of flavors, including dry wood, vanilla, honey, nuts, and a sweet, dessert-like quality. As the smoke evolves, additional notes emerge, such as creamy dark chocolate, cedar, earthy undertones, espresso, and subtle hints of leather. The retrohale reveals a complex interplay of toasted caramel, pepper, citrus tang, and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of crème brûlée. The Bellas Artes Gordo is a masterfully constructed cigar, featuring a firm, box-pressed body wrapped in a silky-smooth, nutty brown leaf. The draw is characterized by a slightly airy feel, while the burn is exceptional, maintaining a razor-sharp line and sturdy ash. With a medium to full-bodied profile, this cigar provides a satisfying 90-minute smoking experience, making it an ideal choice for aficionados seeking a complex and flavorful smoke.
