A total of three Doña Nieves Sentimiento formats (an El Galan brand) are now on the market: Aprecio, Emocion and Ternura, all three boxpressed. The Ternura, a Torpedo, excited us at year’s end with its aromatic complexity and harmony. It is also a great value. The maestro behind the El Galan name is Cuban exile Felix A. Mesa, whose family has been working with tobacco in central Cuba for three generations.
Tasting notes: „Pleasant notes of chocolate, dark berries, toast, leather, earth and wood, underscored by peppery spice. Later on, BBQ aromas, citrus, and the sweetness of fruit and caramel are added. Medium+.“
