Cigar Review: J. Fuego Origen

I'll try not to be biased on this one. J. Fuego is one of my favorite makers, so I had to try this one when I saw it at the local cigar shop. This smoke is a limited edition that is filled with his signature Nicaraguan tobacco and wrapped with a Brazilian Corojo (we're seeing more of this from him see Capoeira Formado). This smoke is more mild than most of his stuff by far. It has reserved spice and earth tones, but has a great mouth feel with lots of mocha. This is definitely a sit back and chill out kind of cigar if you don't want to smoke something really heavy. I don't want the term mild to scare anyone away from this smoke. It's well constructed and very balanced and more elegant than his 777 line. However, for all of the J. Fuego white wrapper and Delirium smokers out there: this is mild in comparison.

Aroma: 3/5

Flavor: 3.5/5

Draw: 4/5

Overall Balance: 4/5

Drink with: Pilsners and lagers, light bodied Highland single malts, blended scotches or Canadian blended whiskey.
