The cigars are dressed in a smooth Colorado wrapper. The filling is uniform, and the end of the cigar is finished with a closed foot. The minimal bands make for quite an elegant look.

Rojas Bluebonnets Marevas:Â the cold draw brings hay, spices, and vegetal aromas to the palate. Once lit, the cigar opens with black pepper, earth, and leather notes.
Further into the first third, the smoke is spicy with black pepper leading the profile, followed by earth and leather. There is also a subtle sweetness present. Strength is medium (3/5).
Wood joins the black pepper, earth, and leather profile in the second third. The sweetness is still present in the background, together with hints of citrus. The strength stays constant.
A nutty component and balsamic herbs appear in the last third, broadening the profile even further. The finale becomes spicy, and the strength increases to a medium-full level (4/5).
Overall, the Rojas Bluebonnets Marevas is a flavor bomb with a broad and interesting, and complex profile. There is an evident evolution present, and the strength is well integrated. This blend shows what a small ring gauge size done right can do.Â
