Leaf by Oscar Valladares Connecticut Maduro

The Leaf by Oscar (Maduro) wastes no time in making a big impact. It is an odd stick at first glance, using tobacco leaves instead of cellophane, you will discover a perfectly rolled Honduran blend with a nice variety of seamless and oily wrappers. This tobacco leaf casing actually serves the purpose of ensuring maximum freshness and better aging by allowing the cigars to breathe. Starting with a massive spice bomb. Feels like I just bit into a habanero buried beneath the spice is mocha java, sweetness and a bit of creaminess.  Wood, honey, floral notes, and a terrific earthiness lay beneath that.
