El Septimo Culinary Art Rioja

Rated 90 points by Cigar Aficionado, the El Septimo Culinary Art Rioja starts toasty and creamy before developing a very nutty almond quality with hints of cinnamon, herbs, and citrus and a cedary finish. Inspired by Spain’s Rioja wine region, its fillers are matured in Rioja wine barrels, adding wine-kissed layers of oak, spice, and berry-like complexity with touches of cocoa and leather. A smooth, evenly burning cigar from the collection El Septimo bills as its most accessible, it is ideal alongside a glass of Rioja.
