Cupido Criollo Doble
Origin: Nicaragua
Size: 5.50 X 50
Wrapper: Nicaraguan EMS

From Superior Cigars:
This is a new line from Cupido, introduced in 2001. It is medium-to-full in body and features a special Criollo wrapper grown on the Cupido farms in Esteli. Balancing the customary deep Cupido flavor with a peppery finish, this line is pressed from the top and bottom only, giving each cigar an oval shape that is easy to hold and smoke. All sizes are offered in cellophane wrappers inside boxes of 25.

Notes:

Cupido Criollo is a Nicaraguan puro made in Estili, Nicaragua. It's a full-bodied, earthy, and robust cigar. The doble, a fat corona size, is about a 20 to 30 minute smoke, and is full of traditional Nicaraguan flavor. The Criollo has an unusual sweet tasting wrapper that may appeal to some, but I found it distracting. Not everyone will like this cigar. It is definitely full-bodied and has some kick. Available from Cigars International at about $2 a stick.
