Shirtless Mike’s Cigar of the Week- June 22, 2023 – Córdoba Y Morales Platino

Córdoba Y Morales Platino

Wrapper: Ecuador (Habano), Brazil (maduro), and Sumatra (Sumatra)
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

This week I am reviewing Platino by Cordoba y Morales.

This cigar is unique because it is essentially 2 cigars in one with 3 different tobaccos for the wrapper and the cigar is rolled around a mini lancero made with 2 different molds.

The end of this cigar is a closed foot. Upon lighting up I got some really nice mild coffee and cocoa notes followed by earthy notes mixed with grass and hay. After about 10 minutes I started to taste pepper on the back end. Eventually I started tasting some cedar notes and the cigar got creamy. This smoke is pretty mild throughout the entire duration of me smoking and it is extremely flavorful with lots of transitions.

Some of the other notes I got were baking spice, cinnamon, Cumin and more earthy notes. I’ll be honest I got side tracked while smoking this cigar and just started to enjoy it without thinking about it too much.

Towards the end of the cigar I did not get any bitter notes and the cigar ended beautifully just as mild as it started with lots of transitions to boot. This cigar is a new rendition to it’s initial release 8 years ago. So come in and give it a try!
