Dante Canto III Robusto Cigar Review “Devilishly Delicious Smoke”
Hidden amidst the dangerous shadows of the Underworld, buried deep in its smokiest corner, lay a cigar so tempting it aroused the Wicked One’s envy: Dante. After years of perilous searching, Dante has managed to retrieve this devilishly delicious smoke and now introduce it to you. A reimagination of its turn-of-the-century namesake, Dante balances strength, spice, and sweetness with a diabolical twist. Hand made by master rollers in Miami using the finest Aganorsa leaf, Dante reflects the pinnacle of premium boutique cigars.
Appearance:
This cigar has a toothy brown wrapper with sweet hay-like notes on the pre-light draw. The Dante is a very good looking cigar with a great smell. There seems to be an even more earthiness radiate from the body of the cigar. I get a lot of rich aroma in my nostrils from the wrapper. The cold draw was perfect it was nice and smooth.
Journey Profile:
The first few puffs into smoking the Dante were exceptional. There was a very clean burn the minute it was lit. It started by holding a long ash very well at the beginning. The draw stayed very easy and kept getting better. Mid way into the body I notice that half of the cigar was burning. I continued and it corrected itself with a flame touchup. Nice thick and dense smoke filled the air with a great aroma. There was some creaminess detected that really mellowed out the characters in the Dante.
Upon lighting the foot the burn did not seem that it would be a problem. With that being said mid body towards the cap the off burn returned. Still I was able to enjoy full flavored characters with a nice slow burn. More creamy texture smoke continued to come through the mouth with a nice amount of spice in the nose. Really nice the second half of the Dante it produced another long ash and it held on until the very end.
Final Thoughts:
The cigar offered a lot of flavor with forward character and a medium body. It maintained consistent sweet notes and aroma with spice and a long finish. The aroma also intensified and maintained a rich luring profile. Very easy on the palate packed with flavor. Very well made and a joy to smoke.
