The Quesada Tributo Alvaro is a medium bodied cigar with a few veins and a tight pack. It comes from the master cigar makers at Fonseca and Casa Magna. The cigar has an Ecuadorian wrapper with Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. The cigar has a cool tag (as seen in the picture) and a great feel to it. It has barely any veins and a really tight pack. Ok, time to light it up:
As you light up you get a intense wood/nut flavor, not too intense but it does bring a lot of flavor to the table. The Quesada I smoked was a torpedo so I can't say the draw was too tight or too loose, because it varies on how short or long you cut it. The smoke output is good accompanied by a very even burn.
Halfway point to the end stayed consistent in flavor for the most part. Towards the middle of the last half, a little bit of coffee notes arrived. It fit right in, allowing the cigar to really reach its potential. Strength-wise, the cigar wasn't too strong until the end where it really intensified. Overall, I enjoyed this cigar, it has several different flavors and a very even burn. I recommend it for those who enjoy strong cigars with a lot of flavor. Enjoy!
Stogie Rite score: 96
