A high-end, handcrafted Nicaraguan puro cigar is the Balmoral Puro Nicaragua Rothschild Masivo. As the first Balmoral cigar produced completely outside of the Dominican Republic, it represents a significant milestone for the brand. This vitola, which is made by Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), has a medium-bodied, well-balanced character thanks to tobaccos from four of Nicaragua's most esteemed growing districts.

Reviews claim that the cold draw has a pleasant aroma that is evocative of grass and milk chocolate. When lighted, the cigar produces a rich, creamy smoke with a taste progression that is harmonious:

First Third: Organic & Smooth. Dark chocolate, espresso, and organic coffee are the main notes. Undertones: Hay, mild earthiness, with a hint of sweet, brioche-like pastry. Mouthfeel: very smooth, beefy, and oily. Retrohale: A mild white pepper that tingles gently and is within control.

Second Third: Woody & Roasted Primary flavours: The flavours of coffee give way to deeper cedar wood and roasted oak. Undertones: A hint of natural tobacco sweetness and roasted almonds. Spice: At the base of the palate, a thin layer of black pepper appears. Texture: Thick, white, compact ash with a strong scent.

Last Third: Complicated & Dark Primary Notes: Intense espresso, dark cocoa, and burnt oak are among the darker tones that appear. Undertones: A distinct bready richness with sporadic sourdough or salty liquorice undertones. Finish: The black pepper remains smooth but somewhat increases. Performance: Even when smoked all the way down to the nub, the smoke stays cool and never becomes too hot.
