Let's talk about this chunky 6x60 beast from PDR Cigars. The Double Magnum comes in boxes of 24 with that signature red wood packaging, priced around $270 a box. With Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos wrapped in Dominican-grown Corojo 2006 leaf, it's Abe Flores' love letter to spice lovers. The gordo size gives about 90 minutes of smoking time - perfect for when you want to really marinate in some complex flavors.
The initial puffs hit with black pepper and dry earth notes - classic Corojo punch. Some sweetness creeps in around the edges like burnt caramel. Draw feels open but not airy, producing medium smoke output. Watch the burn line; needs slight touch-ups on windy days.
Transitions into darker territory. Bitter chocolate and espresso grounds dominate, with that signature Dominican "twang" cutting through. Retrohale brings out toasted almond and cinnamon stick. Smoke density increases - no dry hits here.
Leather and mineral notes emerge as the Nicaraguan filler shows its teeth. Strength ramps up to medium-full. The last inch gets slightly acrid - common in large ring gauges. Pair with an espresso or bourbon to balance the intensity.
