HU Tobacco Nyala
(3.92)
Nyala is a medium bodied blend made of Malawi burley with a hint of perique, Brazil tobaccos and a little amount of Havana cigar leaf. A well balanced mixture with decent chocolate notes, and the nice and spicy taste of the Havana leaf in the background. Smooth and complex.
Notes: Red Virginias ready rubbed flake, Malawi burleys cube cut, perique, Havana leafy and a touch of Brazil tobaccos. The subtle chocolate notes of the burley, the sweetness of Virginia, as well as the perique fruitiness are paired with the finest Havana leaves and spicy Brazil tobacco. Optimally balanced, each seasoning tobacco receives its required space without dominating.
(They changed the name of the series from "Foundation by Musicó" to "African Line")

HU Nyala is clearly suited to those who enjoy a fine cigar whilst sipping a non-peated whisky or a fine bas Armagnac. It is truly one of the best cigar blends I have ever tried. Hans Wiedemann has once again shown how masterful he is with Red Virginia, a subtle touch of Perique, Brasil, Burley and some Havana. It becomes buttery with age, and boasts notes of milk chocolate, stewed pears and dates all enveloped in a hazelnut crepe that has been seasoned with white pepper. It should be smoked in a medium to large bowl and absolutely not rushed after a nice satisfying meal. I was told the room note was cigar, nutty chocolate and a hint of grilled steak. I thoroughly enjoyed this blend and highly recommend it. Enjoy!
