Manufactured by Jose ’Pepin’ Garcia, this brawny blend gets its strength from a heavy-handed inclusion of ligero tobaccos from Jalapa and Estelí and is finished off with a smooth and oily Ecuador Habano wrapper. Although Fausto is decidedly full-bodied with a heavy dose of peppery-spice, it’s not overwhelming or one-dimensional by any means. As the cigar burns down, a lovely dark sweetness with a hint of fennel develops that is both intriguing and interesting.
