K by Karen Robusto Maduro Cigar – Box of 10

The K by Karen Robusto Maduro Cigar uses Nicaraguan tobaccos grown in Esteli soils, wrapped in a dark Maduro leaf. Its box-pressed construction ensures an even burn with consistent smoke output. Measuring 5 inches in length with a 52-ring gauge, this format provides approximately 45-60 minutes of smoking time. The Maduro wrapper undergoes extended fermentation, contributing to its oily texture and sweet undertones.

Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos create a core profile of earth and spice, balanced by the wrapper’s caramelized sweetness. Combustion tests show minimal relighting requirements due to the hybrid priming of Seco and Ligero leaves. Draw resistance measures below 1.5 inches H₂O, classified as “easy” by industry standards. The ash maintains structural integrity for 1-1.5 inches before dropping.

Initial flavor analysis detects cedar, black pepper, and unsweetened cocoa in the first third. The mid-section introduces roasted coffee bean and cashew notes, transitioning to leather and dried fruit in the final third. Retrohales exhibit white pepper intensity without harshness, a characteristic of the aged Corojo 99 filler varietal.
