Nomad C-276 Toro

I am back for my first new review in 6 months.  I have been having trouble finding the time to review new cigars, even though I am smoking them at the same rate.  Today we have the Nomad C-276 in Toro.  The cigar has a dark brown maduro wrapper with invisible veins and seems.  The cigar is boxed pressed and looks like a bar of chocolate.  It comes in at 6 X 50  After lighting, the draw is almost open.  Its putting off large amounts of smoke.  The draw flavors are a sweet earth and black pepper flavor and tingle sensation on the palate.  The finish has the sweet earthiness and black pepper flavor.  The burn through the first half inch is perfect.

An inch and a half down and the cigar starts to come alive.  The sweet earth and black pepper are still on the draw.  The finish sees a black pepper start the flavors, followed by a good blast of light roast coffee and a dark bakers chocolate.  Every few puffs and a leather note steps in and fades quickly.  The dark bakers chocolate dominates 90% of the time during the finish.  Its a very obvious note and its tasty.

Three inches in and not much has changed.  The black pepper has intensified on the draw and finish slightly.  The light roast coffee note is still there but is still being dominate by the dark bakers chocolate.  The sweet earth is starting to pick up steam on the finish and is a good compliment to the dark bakers chocolate.  The burn is still razor sharp and the draw is still producing large amounts of smoke.

With just over an inch left the cigar started to get warm and the flavors started to get washed out. The cigar smoked for 1 hour and 18 minutes.  Overall, this cigar was very tasty.  The flavors reminded me of light version of a Padron 1964 Maduro.  Which is high praise for any cigar in my opinion.  I recommend this cigar for anyone to try as the flavors are tasty and easy to pick out.
