Carabello 828 Silverback (Short)

The Caraballo828 Edición Limitada incorporates a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering a binder from the Jalapa region in Nicaragua as well as Nicaraguan filler tobaccos sourced from both the  Condega and Jalapa regions. There are two different vitolas in the new line: the 5 x 50 perfecto-shaped Silverback and the 6 x 52 Benjamins.

The Silverback Vitola, which is a perfecto shape with a pointed cap and open foot that has a limited production run. The new cigars were produced by Juan “Papito” Alberto Gomez-Pacheco in Nicaragua.

The Tarazona Caraballo828 Silverback Edición Limitada is visually interesting with the combination of fairly unique vitola and a dark espresso wrapper that is extremely rough to the touch. It is covered in very prominent veins as well as some obvious oil and is spongy when squeezed. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of strong gritty earth, dark chocolate, sweet leather, cedar, bell peppers, hay and black pepper, while the cold draw brings flavors of strong earth and cocoa nibs, as well as black pepper, leather, fresh-cut grass, cedar, bitter espresso and slight vanilla sweetness.
