RoMa Craft Aquitaine Cranium Cigar – Single

The RoMa Craft Aquitaine Cranium features an Ecuador Habano Ligero wrapper selected from eighth and ninth priming ligero leaves, noted for thickness and oil content. Its blend includes a Cameroon binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos sourced from Esteli, Condega, and Pueblo Nuevo. The Pueblo Nuevo ligero contributes smoky, savory notes, while the Habano wrapper adds spice. This combination layers with viso and seco leaves for a balanced finish.

Physical Specifications and Construction

Measuring 6 inches in length with a 54-ring gauge, the Aquitaine Cranium utilizes a double-tapered shape featuring a round head and slightly pointed foot. The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper enhances combustion consistency. Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers are combined with a Cameroon binder to maintain structural integrity, ensuring even burning and steady airflow.

Flavor Profile and Experience

Initial flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and pepper emerge upon lighting. Mid-smoke transitions reveal leather, wood, and earth tones, balanced by a subtle sweetness. Strength progresses from medium to full-bodied without overpowering. The tapered design concentrates flavor intensity at the foot, while the ligero-heavy blend sustains complexity across the smoking session.

Performance and Craftsmanship

The RoMa Craft Aquitaine Cranium maintains an even burn and smooth draw, attributed to its densely packed fillers and broadleaf wrapper. The cigar’s construction supports prolonged sessions, with ash stability and minimal relighting required. Its balance of Nicaraguan earthiness, Cameroon spice, and Maduro richness reflects a focus on precise blending and material selection.
