RoMa Craft Volstead Noble Experiment

the Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 is made with an Ecuadorian Sumatra hybrid wrapper covering a Mexican San Andrés binder and a filler blend that includes corojo grown in La Canela, Dominican Republic and tobacco from the Condega, Jalapa and Pueblo Nuevo regions of Nicaragua. The wrapper used on this line is a hybridized version of a Sumatra seed that are grown in Ecuador that is sometimes referred to as “Cameroon-seed grown in Ecuador,” though RoMa Craft Tobac isn’t calling it that..The Noble Experiment is a gorgeous specimen from a visual standpoint, with a red-tinged dark brown wrapper that features quite a bit of mottling and oil. Main flavors of salted peanuts and cocoa nibs take over the top spots in the profile fairly quickly, although secondary notes of mocha coffee, cinnamon, leather tack, earth and saltine crackers make themselves known at various points as well. The retrohale features a small amount of black pepper, but there is plenty of distinct and creamy caramel sweetness.
