HC Series Black Maduro

HC Series Black Maduro is the latest installment in the HC Series of cigars out of Honduras. Formerly a collaboration with Xikar, the HC Series brand has been through a lot over the years, going from a top shelf brand to a bargain bundle brand with a huge audience. Still, HC Series cigars have held their own, earning multiple 90+ ratings and continuing to have a presence in the cigar world. As for this blend, the filler and binder tobacco is from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and the wrapper leaf is a jet-black Connecticut Oscuro leaf grown in the USA. Sold in economical bundles of 20, this line is a no-brainer for the price conscious cigar fanatic. (Shop other Honduran cigars) The construction of HC Series cigars never disappoints. For a value brand, it really can't get much better than this. A dense pack, a near seamless roll, and an easy draw give quite a high-end experience. This stick starts off with pepper, and lots of it. White pepper to be exact, doubtless from the spicy Nicaraguan filler tobacco. Soon after, an array of chocolate and earth form the base of the flavor profile, along with notes of coffee and leather. In other words, the HC Series Black Maduro has all the flavor qualities of a classic maduro cigar with just a bit extra. The blend finishes at the heavy end of medium-full-bodied. HC Series cigars are made to be enjoyed by everyone, and the HC Series Black Maduro is no different. Medium-full-bodied, it makes a great cigar for someone looking to get into stronger sticks, but it is in no way overpowering or unbalanced. It pairs well with coffee or dark beer and is certainly appropriate for any time of day. Fans of such spicy maduros as 5 Vegas Series A or Partagas Black will doubtless appreciate the flavor this stick brings to the table. For immense quality and classic maduro flavor at an unbeatable price, CH Series Black Maduro might just end up being your next go-to cigar!
