RoMa Craft Aquitaine Anthropology Cigar – Single

The RoMa Craft Aquitaine Anthropology shares the Nicaraguan long-filler blend from its sibling line CroMagnon, including a unique Cameroon binder. Its defining feature is an Ecuador Habano Ligero wrapper harvested from eighth and ninth priming ligero leaves, noted for thickness, oil content, and textured surface. The filler combines tobacco from three Nicaraguan regions: Esteli (spicy), Condega (balanced), and Pueblo Nuevo near the Honduran border, with the latter contributing smoky ligero leaves. This blend merges the habano wrapper’s spice, Cameroon binder’s exotic sharpness, and filler’s earthy depth to create a distinct profile compared to CroMagnon’s Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro approach.

Construction and Format

Rolled at RoMa Craft Tobac’s Nicaraguan factory, the Aquitaine Anthropology measures 5 3/4 x 46 (Toro). The cigar utilizes a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, engineered for structural integrity. Its tight roll and uniform packing promote a steady burn rate, while the triple-seam cap facilitates airflow consistency.

Flavor Profile

Initial draws reveal a base of damp soil and cured leather, transitioning midway to roasted coffee and unsweetened cocoa. Secondary notes include cedarwood and black pepper, with the Pueblo Nuevo ligero contributing charred oak undertones. The Cameroon binder amplifies mineral accents, while the Arapiraca wrapper adds a dry red wine tannin finish.
