Mike Rosales and Skip Martin (The “Ro” and the “Ma” in RoMa Craft) have created yet another unique line of savory smokes with the RoMa Craft Intemperance series. Intemperance cigars are a nod to the Prohibition-politics that have seemingly descended upon cigars once again. These cigars are crafted at RoMa Craft’s Nica Sueno factory in Esteli, Nicaragua using Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos held by an Indonesian Besuki binder.
Two different wrappers are offered: The first is the E.C. XVIII named after its Ecuadorian Connecticut (E.C.) wrapper and the 18th (XVIII) Amendment which began Prohibition. A mild-to-medium bodied which delivers thick notes of cream, earth and sweet spice throughout. The second is the B.A. XXI, named for the Brazilian Arapiraca (B.A.) wrapper and for the 21st (XXI) Amendment which repealed the 18th. This livelier smoke offers a rich, earthy and sweet medium+ experience.
