A fantastic new line from Alec Bradley, the Coyol series derives its name from a farm in the Trojes region of Honduras ( coyol is a type of palm tree indigenous to the area). Each layer of the cigar includes an element of Coyol tobacco (which adds an mild, exotic tang to the mix), though it is not a puro; it also incorporates Nicaraguan leaves from Jalapa, Esteli, and Condega. The result is a fine blend which starts out peppery and then opens up into a complex assortment of creamy, earthy flavor with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and whiskey. A truly satisfying smoke, ideal for any occasion!
