Fortaleza Y Libre – Second Wind

Body/Strength: Medium

Second Wind lives up to its name—revitalizing the senses with a rich, steady burn and an evolving flavor journey that proves medium-bodied doesn’t mean middle-of-the-road. Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habano leaf, this blend harnesses the strength and depth of a double ligero core, yet presents it with remarkable smoothness and finesse.

Upon ignition, the cigar opens with a grounded earthiness and rich wood aroma—think cedar shavings and a touch of charred oak. Balanced against this foundation is a subtle splash of toasted nuttiness and grassy sweetness, adding brightness and complexity to the profile.

What sets Second Wind apart is its ability to evolve with purpose. Each third reveals a shift in tone—deeper wood and leather notes take hold as the cigar progresses, and by the midpoint, the body settles into a warm, balanced rhythm. The finish delivers a satisfying combination of spice, dry earth, and faint roasted nut, leaving you with a clean but memorable conclusion.

Every vitola in the Second Wind line burns with its own voice—some teasing out more sweetness, others drawing on the blend’s deeper, spicier undertones—making it a cigar worth revisiting across different sizes.

Smooth, layered, and confidently complex, Second Wind is a medium-bodied experience that delivers far more than expected—perfect for the thoughtful smoker who enjoys the quiet power of nuance.
