Alfonso Gran Seleccion Enomes

Summary

The Alfonso Gran Seleccion Enomes (6 1/2 x 60) is the sequel to the Extra Añejo, designed for a bolder, darker flavor profile. It utilizes an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Peruvian binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Aged for five years in cedar and French oak, this Gordo-sized cigar offers a medium-to-full bodied experience with rich notes of espresso, chocolate, and oak, reminiscent of high-end Cuban Maduro cigars.

Flavor Profile

The Alfonso Gran Seleccion is a medium-bodied masterpiece aged in French oak to achieve unparalleled refinement. The flavor profile is characterized by distinct notes of baking spices, dry cocoa, and a unique floral sweetness. The oak aging imparts a sophisticated woody depth and a creamy mouthfeel, with subtle layers of leather and white chocolate emerging throughout the smoke. It offers a perfectly balanced, aromatic finish that is both clean and complex.

Construction

Meticulously handmade at the Tabacos de Costa Rica factory, the Gran Selección Enormes is constructed with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Peruvian binder, and a long-filler blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The cigar's unique construction involves five years of post-rolling aging in a complex system of five cedar-lined rooms, which uses humidity adjustments to maximize flavor absorption and ensures the 6 1/2 x 60 Gordo is perfectly rolled for an excellent draw and burn.

Pairing Suggestion

The Alfonso Gran Seleccion Enomes (large format, medium-to-full-bodied, creamy, nutty, spicy with cedar/French oak notes) pairs well with a substantial and aged spirit. A rich Sherry Cask Finished Scotch or a complex Port Wine will match its depth. For a non-alcoholic option, a strong, nutty French Roast Coffee or a savory, aged Gouda Cheese will complement the creamy, nutty, and woody notes of this finely aged cigar.
