Description
The Capitan in Gordo format delivers the same medium-plus to full-bodied profile (“Medium+”) as the line overall, with the larger ring gauge generally resulting in a cooler and slightly milder smoking temperature, allowing the nuances of the blend to stand out more clearly.
The flavor profile includes notes of dark chocolate, earth, salted nuts, and wood (cedar). The palette is complex and well-balanced, with a creamy texture and nuances of caramel and subtle pepper. The larger ring gauge tends to bring forward the sweetness of the Ecuadorian Habano 2000 wrapper more prominently compared to smaller formats.
