Fortaleza Y Libre – Midnight Bender Toro Wrapper: San Andrés Maduro Body/Strength: Medium to Full Filler/Binder: Dominican Ligero & Aged Dominican Long Filler Blend Style: Double Ligero
The San Andrés Maduro ignites with bold intent, delivering a wave of dark spice and rich earthiness from the very first draw. The wrapper lays a warm, peppery foundation on the tongue, while each puff produces thick, velvety smoke that carries deep notes of roasted coffee, aged leather, and damp earth—balanced by a faint, almost herbal hint of wild grass that adds subtle complexity.
As you transition into the second third, the cigar steps into its full stride. The strength ramps up, and the flavors grow darker, denser. Black pepper becomes more pronounced, while espresso, cocoa nibs, and hints of charred oak take center stage. The body is now firmly medium-full, but the balance remains refined—never harsh, always deliberate.
By the time you reach the final third, San Andrés Maduro reveals its true character: bold, layered, and unrelenting in its presence. The ligero core hums with restrained power, offering a deeply satisfying experience with every draw. The finish lingers with notes of dark chocolate, worn leather, and a dry earthiness that reminds you this cigar means business.
Powerful, flavorful, and full of soul, San Andrés Maduro is a must-smoke for those who crave strength without sacrificing sophistication. It’s not just a cigar—it’s a statement.
