Bossner Maduro (Dominican Republic)

In addition to this Bossner Maduro, there is also the Classic from the Dominican Republic (with Connecticut Shade wrappers) and one from Nicaragua.

As filler for this one, a blend of Seco and Ligero from Piloto is used, combined with a Dominican Olor binder. The wrapper is a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro (not grown under shade and fermented for a longer period).

These Maduros deliver a dominant, woody-spicy aroma with floral and earthy notes at the same time. During the smoking process, it develops more towards toasty flavors.

Behind this brand is a cigar enthusiast from Russia who has been having "his" cigars manufactured in a factory in the Dominican Republic since the 1990s. Crafted with perfect artisanship, they offer something for every palate - as they say, there's no accounting for taste when it comes to design. In terms of flavor, in our opinion, these cigars are perfect alternatives to, for example, the Flor de Copan Maduro or the Santa Damiana Maduro.

Here is an exemplary tasting from a cigar magazine (European Cigar Cult Journal 2/2005):

• Very well rolled, with fine, creamy, chocolate-toasty flavors and an excellent draw.
• Rich, creamy, subtly spicy taste.
• Earthy and aromatic with a gentle, toasty chocolate texture.
• Expressive, aromatically sharp, well-balanced cigar with a long-lasting taste and lingering sweetness and spice.
• Medium strength.
