Warped Flor Del Valle Las Brumas

The Warped Flor Del Valle Gran Valle shows its hand right away with the varietal shading of its Ecuadorian wrapper giving it an eye-catching barber pole aesthetic. The coloring belies a robust flavor profile that wastes no time asserting itself. Notes of peppery spice and earth make their presence felt immediately on the cold draw and carry over onto the first few puffs where they are met by a retrohale bursting with white pepper. 

The initial flavor is not smooth but rather earthy and mineral with a slight roughness about it. The early going brings some frustration as the ash proves fragile and breaks off easily. However, some relief arrives just past the first inch as the flavor smooths out somewhat, gaining a nutty creaminess and dialing back the pepper kick. The evolution continues unpredictably with each puff alternating the flavor between robust earthiness and smoothing cream. 

Construction is sound aside from the delicate ash with the sole nuisance being a slightly tight draw that slows the burn rate. The strength and body sit measured in the medium-full range, but their slow creep may surprise by the final third. With its rustic flavor and aesthetic, this cigar will appeal to fans of Nicaraguan puros who don’t mind trading refinement for character.
