Casdagli Basilica C #3 Petit Robusto Cigar – Box of 20

The Casdagli Basilica C #3 Petit Robusto measures 4 x 52 and features a dark Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. This shorter format shares core characteristics with the Basilica C #1, utilizing a Jalapa binder from Nicaragua and a blend of Dominican Republic, Ecuadorian, and Nicaraguan filler leaves. The cigar emphasizes unsweetened cocoa and chocolate flavors balanced by tartness from its triple-filler composition.

Construction and Blend

• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Corojo (dark, oily texture)
• Binder: Nicaraguan Jalapa leaf
• Filler: Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua

Aged tobacco leaves and a tightly packed structure contribute to an even burn. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper provides consistent combustion, while the 52-ring gauge allows for a steady draw.

Flavor Development

Initial notes of cream and roasted coffee transition into cedar and white pepper midway. The final third introduces sweet cocoa undertones, with spice intensity building toward the finish. Smoke density remains medium to full-bodied throughout the 45-minute smoking time.

Performance and Usage

Designed for shorter sessions, the Casdagli Basilica C #3 maintains complexity despite its compact size. The cigar’s balance of Nicaraguan sweetness and Dominican earthiness appeals to smokers seeking structured profiles without overwhelming strength. Pairing recommendations include espresso or aged rum to complement its cocoa-spice interplay.
