CAO Amazon Basin Fuma Em Corda Toro OR Release 2017

It’s called Fuma Em Corda, and uses tobacco from the Brazilian state of Alagoas. It is part of the amazon basin series.

In the first third, there is a lot of sweet spice up front, along with the fruit note continuing into the lit profile, while in the background are notes of light pepper, oak and a touch of earthiness.

The second third, the spice up front has a specific hot cinnamon candy note that has broken out, which alongside the rich fruit note and evened out by the pepper, oak, earth, leather and cocoa makes for a pleasant, balanced profile.

The final third, a number of the notes start to die down in their intensity. The sweetness has certainly reduced a fair amount, though the spice and fruit notes are still there. Oak, earth, leather and cocoa continue in the background, though the pepper has faded to almost nothing. With the sweetness and pepper both fading however, the balance is still kept and while perhaps not as rich, still produces a good profile.
