Esteban Carreras 187 Maduro Premium Cigars 4x38

The Esteban Carreras 187 Maduro Premium Cigars 4x38 is a compact, characterful cigar for connoisseurs who do not wish to compromise on depth, spice and a rich smoke, even in a short format. It is precisely in this handy format that the 187 Maduro showcases its direct, honest style most impressively. From the very first puffs, it feels dense, well-rounded and pleasantly full-bodied, without ever seeming uncontrolled. This makes it ideal for anyone seeking a shorter yet flavourfully satisfying Maduro cigar with a Nicaraguan character.

A dark character with a Nicaraguan soul

The 187 range is synonymous with powerful, aromatically rich cigars that beautifully convey the typical character of Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Maduro variant brings out the darker, slightly richer side of the range. The profile is warm, full-bodied and yet surprisingly approachable. Particularly in a small premium format, this results in a cigar that gets straight to the point and doesn’t take much persuading. Thus, this cigar combines intensity with everyday appeal and appeals to both experienced aficionados and lovers of compact Maduro formats.

Coffee, chocolate and creamy spice

In terms of flavour, the 187 Maduro is well-balanced and richly aromatic. The foreground features coffee, dark chocolate and a pleasant creaminess, accompanied by nut, cedar and a subtle natural sweetness. As the cigar develops, a hint of black pepper emerges, lending the smoke more definition without making it seem harsh. It is precisely this blend of creamy richness, dark roasted notes and subtle spice that makes the cigar particularly appealing. The overall impression remains harmonious, rich and pleasantly distinctive.

A short cigar with a full impact

Anyone looking for a smaller premium cigar with real character will find this a very successful choice. It is ideal for a deliberate break, an espresso or a moment of indulgence in between. Despite its compact size, it delivers ample smoke volume, a lovely development and a finish that lingers for some time. The Esteban Carreras 187 Maduro is therefore a small cigar with great character and a compelling option for anyone who appreciates dark, rounded flavours in a short format.
