In the world of fine art, the term pastiche is used to described a work of art that intentionally imitates the style of another artist or work of art. But the term could also be applied to the world of premium cigars, such as the Bellas Artes Maduro by A.J. Fernández.
The Bellas Artes Maduro launched two years after the original Bellas Artes cigar. With Bellas Artes translating to mean fine art, the maduro variant boasts a similarly fine smoking experience, incorporating the original's lively performance under a darker persuasion. This has been accomplished through the inclusion of a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Mexican San Andrés maduro binder, and all-Nicaraguan fillers grown on A.J.'s own farms.
Bellas Artes Maduro is the maduro lover's maduro, weighing heavy on the palate with gritty complexities of mineral-laden earth, baker's cocoa, black pepper, toasted oak, black licorice, and root beer. If you aren't already ordering this beasts after reading that previous sentence, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! MADURO BLISS AWAITS YOUR HUMIDOR.
Bellas Artes Maduro Toro achieved the No.4 spot with Cigar Snob’s Top 25 The Best Cigars of 2022.
