• Entrance: cocoa, peat, caramel, bread, leather
• Centre: cocoa, ginger, coffee, earth
• Finish: cocoa, leather, earth

What We Think:

The La Preferida 552 is the robusto size in their core range, blended by Didier Houvenaghel of DH Boutique and produced by A.J. Fernández in Nicaragua. Impeccably constructed the La Preferida 452 is firm when pressed but has an excellent draw with thick white smoke and produces a very solid white ash. Unbelievable value for money, these compete with some of the best cigars in the world.
