Artistry in Design
The Andalusian Bull is visually striking with its imposing figurado shape, featuring a 64 ring gauge foot that gently tapers to a 52 ring gauge head. The cigar’s band showcases a textured silhouette of a bullfighter in elegant green, gold, and black, while the secondary band features the name in a font inspired by Pablo Picasso’s handwriting – a thoughtful nod to Spain’s artistic heritage.
Tasting Experience
From the first light, this cigar delivers a harmonious symphony of flavors that evolve beautifully throughout the smoking experience:
First Third
The journey begins with rich notes of caramel, leather, and black cherry, complemented by hints of chestnuts and cedar. The smoke is remarkably smooth with a creamy texture that coats the palate.
Second Third
As you progress, the flavor profile intensifies with an exotic blend of spices including cumin and saffron. The caramel sweetness persists while hints of citrus and honey occasionally emerge. The retrohale reveals subtle orange sweetness that adds complexity to the experience.
Final Third
The conclusion brings a return of black pepper notes balanced with espresso, toasted cedar, and earthy mushroom undertones. The sweetness recedes slightly, allowing the natural tobacco flavors to shine through in a perfect finale.
Construction and Burn
Despite its unusual size and shape, the Andalusian Bull boasts flawless construction. The draw starts slightly tight but opens to perfection as you progress through the wider section. The firm ash holds impressively long with minimal flake, while the burn line remains consistently even throughout the 120-140 minute smoking time.
