POWSTANIE SAN ANDRÉS | CIGAR REVIEW

MARCH 8, 2025 - PHIL KURUT, COMEDY - CIGARS - MUSIC

POWSTANIE SAN ANDRÉS ROBUSTO (5 x 50)

WRAPPER: MEXICAN SAN ANDRÉS

BINDER: ECUADORIAN HABANO

FILLER: NICARAGUA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

San Andrés’ spice leads the group that decides to hang back. Creamy milk chocolate, bright stone fruit, and woody earth whisper well underneath. Earth drops through the nose. Dark chocolate, earth, leather, and a dash of spice lingers on the finish.

Excellent draw and smoke output.

Ash hangs on well to a solid burn line.

San Andrés is a smooth operator. I never liked that song. Sorry, Sade. But, I do like this cigar.

I’m not sure if Sade was a one-hit wonder, but I can’t remember any song of hers other than “Smooth Operator”. I suppose that makes her a one-hit wonder for me, but it wasn’t a hit for me. I suppose that doesn’t matter.

Smooth dark roasted coffee and black pepper spice arrive towards the end. A cup of coffee sounds good now, no black pepper.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 25 mins.

RATING: 3.25 / 4 - Smooth Operator
