El Loco La Viuda: hay and spices get delivered on the cold draw. First few puffs are acidulous and mainly vegetal.
The first third gets more intense after the first few puffs, with notes of black pepper and earth, enriched by a mix of walnuts and hazelnuts. Strength is a little above the medium (3.5/5).
The middle section turns to herbs and spices, the latter culminating with piquant peaks. The nutty aroma is still present, but it reminds more of almonds now. Strength doesn’t change (3.5/5).
In the final part nuts become the protagonist, together with some roasted notes. Strength doesn’t not increase and the finale is well balanced.
Overall, the El Loco La Viuda develops a well balanced and harmonious smoke. The first half is equipped with a much broader flavor profile compared to the second part of the smoke, where the aromas are lee in numbers. That said, intensity is good for the whole smoke.
