Ave Maria Reconquista

Some would say the original Ave Maria cigar was as close to perfection as a medium-bodied smoke could get. It is hard to believe a stick as good as that could get any better, but the first few puffs on the Ave Maria Reconquista will have you singing hymns from whatever soapbox you can find. This Nicaraguan beauty screams special occasion smoke from its entombed packaging, beautiful Brazilian Habano wrapper, and amazing earthy pre-light aroma. Nicaraguan Habano Ligero binds together a tantalizing blend of Nicaraguan fillers from not one but three different and very unique areas of the tobacco-growing nation. A medium-to full-bodied masterpiece, this stick should be in everyone's humidor for those celebratory moments.

The flawless wrapper is extraordinarily toothy and oily with succulent aromas of earth and a hint of cocoa. The ease of the draw practically makes raising a torch to the foot an instinct rather than a planned action. Once lit the spice of black pepper intermingles with the subtle sweetness and makes your palate salivate for each and every puff. With a toasty finish and amazing burn, you will wish this was more of an everyday smoke than one to set aside. Ave Maria Reconquista is a prayer answered for all lovers of medium-to-full bodied cigars. The packaging and pricing stop this from being an all-the-time cigar, but for those moments you wish to really relax and contemplate life, or celebrate a great achievement, this is the perfect stick. For a more medium-bodied smoke, the original Ave Maria is just as amazing.
