The Bucanero line exhibits
a welcome discipline in construction
and a subtlety in taste
in many of the lines that is quite remarkable,
especially with so many
with maduro wrappers of so many different origins!
It’s a line worth exploring,
not only of the nine blends
we described above, but
of the four others we didn’t cover!

Bucanero Full Sail Maduro

"Blind tasting".
The Bucanero Full Sail Maduro catches
you first with its name, and then with some aggressive looks.
A toro sized
cigar with
a wrapper as dark as the depths of the deepest sea, one expects a salt
water slap in the face when you get ready to smoke.
The surface of the Full Sail is a bit rough.
Not exactly rough in a bad way, but rough in the way that weathered
lines
on an old mariners face add character. One of our reviewers even
added that the small imperfections in the
wrapper gave this cigar a more interesting appearance. Rest assured that
the Bucanero Full Sail Maduro leaves
no impression stronger than this is going to be a deep rich smoke.
A firm cigar with a roughly finished
cap, the toro cut cleanly, and reveals a nicely packed cigar. Expect
a
clean burn and draw. All reviewers loved the ash of this cigar, as
it slowly grows into a soft gray extension of the rest of the cigar.
You got to love this ash, makes
me remember cigars
from before the cigar
boom. Nothing fancy, just a
straightforward burnt tobacco gray.”
The initial aroma of the Bucanero did not leave
many
reviewers searching for adjectives,
but this is a case where silence is golden.
Flavor wise, the spice comes at you
from the first draw.
No easing you into this smoke, the Bucanero has the sails open, and is
taking you for a ride.
“The Bucanero Full Sail Maduro started with some spice and earthiness from the first draw.
The taste of both increased as the burn neared
the middle of the cigar.
The flavors were simple and balanced.
The taste remained consistent throughout
the rest of the cigar.
The cigar never became harsh or bitter.”
In the age where many cigar manufacturers seem to be trying to out dual
each other on who can make the
strongest cigar, The Full Sail is a nice respite. Often times the
desire to increase strength will leave you tasting
something for the next week. Not so here. It's refreshing that a
boutique cigar producer can take additional risks,
and not try and appeal to every category of cigar smoker. This is
the case with Bucanero, and we applaud
them for continually coming out with quality products that a cigar smoker
can rely on.
We highly recommend giving the Bucanero Full
Sail
Maduro a try, in fact you likely won't go
bad trying any ship in their marina.

"Blind tasting"
"Unbelievable!! The taste was a great
blend of chocolate, cocoa and maybe a hit of occasionally fruitiness.
A taste of coffee emerged, but caused no bitterness.
Then, with no warning, an "off-the-top-rope"
espresso smack in the face! Awesome! This cigar expressed a VSG-like flavor,
but without the associated harshness.
This baby was smooth from start to finish,
with a beautiful crescendo of strength and flavor,
accompanied by a gentle landing. I am hesitant to say this about a cigar
I just met. I don't even know your name yet.
But, I think I love you!!!!!
A+ Ok, you have my review, now reveal the
name of this cigar and no one gets hurt!"
