AJF Enclave Broadleaf Belicoso Maduro | Belicoso | Box of 20

AJ Fernandez and his father took Enclave in a darker, fuller direction here, wrapping Nicaraguan binder and fillers in a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro leaf for a rich smoke made in Nicaragua. The 6 x 56 Belicoso opens with earth, cedar, black pepper, chocolate, and a touch of cinnamon that keeps the profile lively. Full in strength, it leans chewy and savory without losing that natural Broadleaf sweetness. Think cocoa powder over toasted wood, with pepper riding shotgun all the way down.
