About an inch in, the smoke has a nutty character, like toasted almonds with the underlying musk; a very pleasant combination indeed. By now, I can a About half way, the smoke begins to concentrate a little. The aromas seem to come together to produce an espresso like aftertaste following a draw. The intensifying musk and leather from the core, leave behind a taste that reminds me of the old Star Bucks espresso shots I used to sip over ice, way back when they actually offered real espresso. This profile goes right to the end, leaving a somewhat spicy finish of cedar and musk for a good while. La Aroma de Cuba is clearly not a smoke to be compared to its other cousins from the Ashton line. Its merits make it stand on its own, in a rustic and satisfying way.
