ماتيلدي كوادراتا روبوستو

Even as a box-press fan, I was surprised how evenly this robusto burns from start to finish. The combo of Dominican and Nicaraguan leaves really delivers that long, nutty finish without any harshness.

The box press shape makes for a really comfortable feel in the hand, and the draw is just right—smooth with no effort. The balance between the Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos is spot on for a medium-bodied smoke.

That nutty finish lingers perfectly long after each puff, and the box press feels solid in the hand. The Dominican-Nicaraguan blend is smooth yet full enough for my taste.
