Lou Cross (verified owner) –
The Elote Firecracker cigar truly blew me away. The 3 1/2 x 50 petite robusto vitola size was perfect for a quick smoke, but the flavors were anything but small. The blend of Nicaraguan filler and Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper combined to create a smooth and complex smoking experience that had me wanting more.
The savory flavors of grilled steak and sweet roasted corn tortilla were prominent throughout the smoke, with subtle hints of chimichurri adding a unique twist. The strength of the cigar was noticeable but not overpowering.
The construction of the cigar was impeccable, with a smooth draw and even burn that allowed me to fully enjoy every puff. The aroma was equally enjoyable, with a pleasant smokiness that added to the overall experience.
Overall, The Elote Firecracker is a top-notch cigar that I would highly recommend to any cigar enthusiast. It’s the perfect blend of strength, complexity, and flavor, and the petite robusto size makes it a convenient option for any occasion. Rojas has truly outdone themselves with this addition to the Street Tacos Barbacoa line, and I can’t wait to try more from this brand in the future.
