Tasting of Cigars!! With Manoli Romeralo University Camilo J.Cela

Have you ever been in a cigars tasting?

I have been a very few days ago in one of them, and make sure them that still for me, that I am not smoking, it has been a surprising experience.

Entertaining, Lively, and very interesting.

Not if also it it was, because we gave "Manoli Romeralo", which is also an expert Sommelier and Taster of Mineral Waters.

First of all, he told to us that the Havana cigars are EXCLUSIVELY of Cuba, since it is an origin denomination, which says to us also that not all the tobacco of Cuba is to do Havana cigars.

I speak to us about the different marks that exist, of the calibers, of the Fertile plains of the first, and that only for Cohiba have a few exclusive plantations.

We speak about the quality factors, which do that one or another Havana cigar are different, That there has to do very much the soil, the climate, and the experience of the vegueros (persons that elijen)

As they tell, his name is Cohiba, since when Columbus came to America Tahinos saw, to the Indians, that were tying up a few sheets that were calling cojibas and were smoking it.

Also important knowledge is the difference between RING and VITOLA.

The ring is the role that it covers to the Havana cigar naming or the publicity of the mark, and on the other hand the Vitola, it is the size, format, length, and thickness of the Havana cigar.

And there are several ways of calling the Vitolas, of exit or of galley.

That of exit, it is with the one that they mark in the companies or every company puts the name of Vitola of exit that he prefers.

On the other hand the Vitola of Galley, it is the one that puts the factory to differentiate the grosores estandards, that then in the exit, the factory will put the one that pleases.

We try with several types of liquors, to see the Cohiba that we were smoking that it was combining better, and come to the conclusion that is, that the COHIBA was an IIND CENTURY,

It was combining much better with the ports!

Be well, that the school put an old Oporto of 20 years to us!!! asique also this was a point in favor of the Havana cigar.

I learned that they not all combine well with the same drinks, which makes to think that it is not bad, to ask the person who offers us the cigar in a restaurant,

that type of drink would go better.

In my case, combine very well, with a rich coffee and an excellent chocolate!!!!
