Karatoba

The Karatoba Robusto Extra 5.5x55 is the fourth entry in the OZ Family Cigars portfolio, and the thickest of the four. It’s rolled at the esteemed NACSA, the factory’s first collaboration with the brand. It’s dons a toothy Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper that gives off an earthy and peppery aroma. Inside is a sturdy Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers from both Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The profile opens deep and savory with some layered heat. At first draw, the cigar leans into charred spices, slow-cooked red sauce, and the richness of stewed meat that gives it a distinct flavor. The subtle transition into the midpoint gives a maple-like sweetness with a balanced amount of earthiness. At 5.5 inches with a 55-ring gauge, it’s a great size for your regulars and any walk-ins alike. Available in a box of 21, order yours at Santa Clara Cigars.
