This Maduro offering showcases the depth and richness that Mexican San Andrés wrappers are renowned for, layering dark chocolate, leather, and subtle spices over the classic Buenaventura foundation.

The final third deepens into espresso, dark chocolate, and cedar notes, creating a satisfying progression that keeps the palate engaged throughout the smoking experience. The retrohale reveals rounded pepper that supports rather than dominates the flavor profile, making this cigar approachable for a wide range of preferences while still offering the complexity that experienced smokers appreciate.

The even burn characteristics and sturdy ash formation allow the complex flavor development to proceed naturally, while the measured draw ensures optimal smoke production and temperature control.

Is this suitable for afternoon smoking?

Curivari is a sleeper brand that I think most people sleep on – their original Buenaventura line is one of my all-time favorite budget smokes for sure. That being said, I got curious with the latest of the 3 – blue, red, and yellow bands. The maduro (blue) definitely has the traditional maduro notes – dark chocolate, leather, molasses – but not quite matured. Maybe worth trying it again in a few months.

This is the third of the trio recently dropped by Curivari. The Maduro Favoritos is a good looking smoke… dark brown wrapper. The cigar is well constructed and burned ok. The flavors of this were sharper than I would have preferred. Leather, and some spice, but just seemed unbalanced. The price point is there to give it a try, but if the three released in the lineup, this is the least favorite of mine. If you like Maduro cigars, give it a try, but it’s probably best to let them sit for a bit before trying. The other two are definitely something I’d smoke right now.
