Cigar of the Week: A. Turrent Triple Play (Review)

Wrapper: San Andres Morron
Filler: Nicaraguan, San Andres, Honduran
Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf

This week at Xhale Lounge we will be featuring the A. Turrent Triple Play! We here chose this cigar because of its big flavor and heartiness.

So this week we will be having an exclusive deal for all of our readers. Come in and get one of these cigars for free when you buy three of these. You got it, that buy three get one free. So lets get to the review so you know what to expect.



Appearance:
The San Andres Morron wrapper on this cigar is a dark brown, almost the color of dark chocolate. The wrapper only has one small vein running throughout it, but that shouldn't be any cause for concern.The cap was perfectly flush with the rest of the cigar. 

Construction:
This cigar was perfectly solid all the way through. There was not a single spot throughout the entire cigar that was softer than any other part. The flush cap was made up of several layers.The burn pattern of this cigar was almost perfect all the way through. Because of the thicker ring gauge, the draw was very easy and produced a thick, plentiful smoke.

Flavor:
As soon as we lit up these cigars we noticed just how creamy and smooth the smoke was. We expecting a very strong cigar right away since this cigar is made up of maduro leaves, but that wasn't the case at all.It wasn't until about an inch of the way into this cigar that the pepper started to form. The prominent flavor throughout the first third was earth, but the subtle notes of chocolate and pepper accented perfectly. 

Once we got down to the second third, the spice picked up a little bit. There was still a strong earthy base, but the sweetness of the chocolate became the main focus. As we got close to the halfway point there was a mild leather flavor that started to build. 



Once we got down to the last third the cigar really balanced out. The draw was very sweet and there earthy tones were left behind on the palate. There was a little bit more spice towards the finish, but the sweetness still overpowered the spice. 


Overall:
Please don't think that because this cigar is made up of all maduro tobacco that it is overly powerful, it really isn't. This cigar is medium to full bodied, but packs a ton of flavor. We carry these in a couple sizes, and quantity is limited. So hurry in and grab a couple of these before they are gone. And remember, for all of our readers these are buy three get one free.


Thank you,


The Xhale Lounge Crew
