Esteban Carreras Bronze Figurative Cross

The Esteban Carreras Bronze Cross Figurado is a striking premium cigar for connoisseurs who appreciate an expressive format with spicy depth and an elegant flavour profile. Its Figurado shape gives it a distinctive visual appeal and ensures a lively, evolving smoking experience. The cigar combines the warm, spicy style of the Bronze Cross range with added dynamic character, making it an exciting choice for aficionados seeking something more than just the standard.

Box-pressed Figurado with a Nicaraguan blend

The Bronze Cross Figurado is box-pressed and features a Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan filler with a pronounced Jalapa character. It is the shape in particular that makes this vitola so appealing: more focused at the start, then broader and richer on the palate. This allows the blend to showcase its various facets beautifully. The cigar has a medium to slightly stronger body, whilst remaining harmonious and controlled throughout.

Wood, coffee and warm spices

On the palate, the Figurado reveals notes of oak, coffee and roasted flavours, complemented by warm spices and a subtle nuttiness. As the smoke progresses, the flavours become denser and rounder, at times taking on a slightly cinnamon-spiced character. The cigar thrives on this interplay of wood, coffee and a subtle depth of spice. The result is a smoke that is not only rich in flavour but also, thanks to its shape, particularly intriguing.

For connoisseurs with an appreciation for shape and development

The Bronze Cross Figurado is ideal for quiet moments of indulgence, when a cigar is allowed to unfold at its own pace and the shape plays an additional role. It is an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates Nicaraguan cigars with a distinctive appearance and elegant spice. The interplay of the box-press, the Figurado shape and the spicy blend makes it a vitola with high recognition value.
