Cimarron Maduro Robusto. Cimarron is an area in the south of America. It runs from Colorado to Oklahoma. But this cigar doesn’t come from that area, nor does it contains tobacco from the area. It is a cigar by Tabacalera El Artista, a Dominican cigar manufacturer & tobacco grower. We did a review of the Cimarron Connecticut before.
Tabacalera El Artista is around since the 1960s. As tobacco growers and as cigar manufacturers. But up until a few years ago, most of the cigars El Artista made were private labels for others. With the new generation coming in, things change. Brands for themselves, plus the return of some ancient tobaccos. Tobaccos with low yield, but specific flavors that were almost eradicated such as Dominican Negrito. And newly developed varieties such as T13, completely crossbred and developed by Tabacalera El Artista. Both of these tobaccos are in the Cimarron Maduro. The wrapper is Mexican though. And the filler also has some Colombian tobacco to create the necessary acidity for balance.

The review
The cigar looks amazing. A toothy, dark, almost black wrapper. It is oily, and it feels like fine sandpaper. The construction feels great. The fresh green, white, and gold band stands out on the dark wrapper. The aroma is deep, a mixture of dark chocolate with barnyard.
The cold draw is fine and the flavor of raw tobacco with spice and roasted coffee shops up on the palate. Straight from the start, there are flavors such as coffee, earth, and dark chocolate, balanced by some sweetness and acidity. The coffee, acidity, and sweetness remain and are in perfect balance. In the background, there’s some spice. Toasty flavors show up as well, and they bring back the dark chocolate.
After the first third, the main flavors are oak and dark chocolate. There is white pepper as well. A little dry licorice shows up in the background. The retrohale gives a peppery flavor. Oak and dark chocolate are the flavors in the mouth. The cigar remains dark in flavor. Oak, soil, and dark chocolate with some support of acidity to balance things out, sweetness, and pepper. In the last third, leather makes a comeback. With the previously mentioned flavors still in the mix. Wood, acidity, and pepper are getting stronger. Oak to be more precise than wood in general. The finale is very peppery.
The draw is good. The ash is very light in color, creating a beautiful contrast with the dark wrapper. The burn is straight as an arrow. The smoke is plentiful and thick. This is a full-bodied cigar, full of flavor as well. It could use more evolution, but it’s still a pleasant cigar for a very reasonable price. The smoke time is three hours
