Aging Room Rare Collection Festivo Review

Today, we take a look at a small batch cigar from Boutique Blends called the Aging Room Rare Collection. The Rare Collection is the first of a series of cigars that continue to carry out the vision of its parent company, Boutique Blends Cigars. Ten years ago, Rafael Nodal and Hank Bischoff changed the direction of the company they owned, Oliveros Cigars. They had recently had success with a cigar called the Aging Room M356. The M356 was a blend that was a small batch release that contained some hard to find tobaccos. It was also a blend that forever changed the future for Nodal and Bischoff. The duo would take the success of the M356 and reconfigure the vision of the company to focus on small batch blends with rarer tobaccos. As a result, Oliveros Cigars would become Boutique Blends Cigars focusing on that vision. This would result of a decade of critical acclaim and commercial success. Eventually it led to a strategic partnership with Altadis U.S.A. The background on Boutique Blends is important because as mentioned, the Aging Room Rare Collection aligns perfect with this vision. This was very clear as when Rare Collection was announced, Nodal commented: “This is not just an updated cigar; this is the first in what will be several Rare Collection projects. With the Aging Room by Rafael Nodal Rare Collection, we are offering adult consumers a complex, medium-full bodied, Nicaraguan blend containing some of the rarest and most well-aged tobaccos of any cigar we’ve released to date.” We will look at the Aging Room Rare Collection in the Festido and see what this cigar brings to the table. Wrapper: Nicaraguan Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Tabacalera AJ Fernandez de Nicaragua S.A. The Aging Room Rare Collection Festido started off with a combination of citrus, cedar, earth, and red pepper. Early on the earth and citrus moved into the forefront with the natural tobacco and pepper settling in the background. There was a definite zestiness to the flavor profile. As the cigar moved through the first third, some caramel notes surfaced in the background. As for the retro-hale, early on it started out as a very mild cedar, but as the cigar moved to the later part of the first third, it morphed to more of a mixed pepper note. During the second third, there was an overall decrease in sweetness. The citrus diminished to the background while the caramel notes dissipated. The earth notes became the main primary note. The pepper notes also remained in the background with citrus, pepper, and cedar notes. There was not much change during the final third. The earth notes were primary with the citrus, cedar, and pepper rounding things out. The cigar finished with a cool, and slightly soft nub. Key Flavors: Earth, Natural Tobacco, Cocoa, Fruit, Pepper Burn: Very Good Draw: Excellent Complexity: Medium Strength: Mild (Start), Mild to Medium (Mid First Third), Medium Body: Mild (Start), Mild to Medium (Mid First Third), Medium Finish: Very Good
