Matilde Oscura Corona

The Matilde Oscura is a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvanian fillers, held together by an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and presented with a robust San Andreas wrapper. It offers remarkable notes of both black and white pepper, balanced with a touch of sweetness. As the experience unfolds, wood and subtle coffee flavors emerge. The taste seems to open up with each draw, developing into new layers of complexity. This cigar is thus an exciting journey through diverse flavors.

Matilde was founded in 1876 in Santiago de los Caballeros and was one of the first tobacco companies in the Dominican Republic. However, the operation was discontinued in the early 1900s. In 2014, the brand was revived by the Seijas family. Their first line, the Matilde Renacer, immediately made it into the Top 25 Cigars of 2014 and received a score of 92 points.
