These cigars are incredibly mild and creamy due to the aging process and develop an intense woody flavor thanks to cedar box that contains the Hermosos No.4. These are rather mild cigars, with a body evolving from mild to medium, which makes them the perfect daily smoke. Nonetheless, they are also pretty complex cigars, in addition to woody flavors, there are also notes of pepper, leather and of bittersweet chocolate. Each box has been individually box opened and each stick has been checked before being banded with an additional Aged Habanos (Anejados) band. This is why you can find under each box the original stamp recording the date and factory where they have been rolled 8 years ago plus an additional “Revisado” (checked) stamp. Learn More -
