The "Blue Ribbon" by Izambar is an impressive cigar that will appeal to lovers of large formats. Wrapped in a blue band and a smooth, taut wrapper, it recalls its cousin the Lusitania, but with more muscle thanks to its 54 ring gauge. This cigar evokes an old-fashioned romanticism, often forgotten in today’s cigar world.
From the first puffs, it offers indulgent and fortifying clouds of smoke, with hints of animal notes and burnt earth, while gradually developing a strength supported by spices and black pepper. The balance between aromas and strength is perfect. The second third of the cigar becomes more indulgent, with creamy puffs and notes of old leather and roasted fruits. The finish confirms the elegance and harmony of the cigar, which requires about two hours for a complete tasting.
