Med/Full-strength. Flavors of caramel, baking spices, black pepper, dark earth, cocoa, cream, espresso beans, toasted almond, and cloves. Here’s what Jon Huber had to say about the CHC Serie E: “I listened to that solo and saw it as a sonic metaphor for smoking this cigar. From the drum and bass intro, which I saw as the cutting-lighting-prep of the cigar, to the mixing of triads and harmonics which I compared to the complexity of the flavor profile, to the bottoming-out dive bombs that were reminiscent of the finish of the cigar, it all paralleled seamlessly."
LECHE DE MAMA FIRST LOVE: This is without question THE creamiest and most uber-delicious cigar in the Cigar Federation Tobaccos line-up. We are absolutely obsessed with it! It’s nostalgic—both in aroma and flavor—taking us back to some of our first years in cigar making. So this is more than just the “original” Leche de Mama blend…this is the Leche De Mama FIRST LOVE! LECHE DE MAMA First Love opens with rich leathery waves and a huge creamy butter blast. Notes of macadamia nuts followed by a cinnamon spice. The finish lingers long on the tongue leaving a whipped cream and vanilla flavor. As the second third begins, additional notes of Spanish cedar and cashews appear. Gorgeous hints of Brandy subtly come to the fore. The flavors are a bit like French Vanilla Ice Cream. The balance is impeccable! The last third finishes magnificently! Gentle toffee notes are added to the blend. A warming white pepper tingles the tongue. You won't want to put it down. It's creamy and bursting with flavor all the way down to the nub!
