Onyx Cigars

Onyx cigars are maduro cigars that are a part of Altidis family of cigar. They are famous for their expensive Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that gives them a superb taste.

Striking the market somewhere in late 2000, the Onyx Cigar is a medium bodied maduro cigar that successfully utilizes the first-class Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers. The fermentation of these maduro wrappers involves extra aging process that gives the Onyx cigars a rich and toasty aroma and also leaves a small sweetness on finish. Each and every Onyx cigar in the line has been box pressed thus making them extremely comfortable to smoke.

Such a premium cigar with an exceptional maduro blend could come only from the makers of such great names like Romeo y Julieta and Montecristo. The cigar has been highly rated by the connoisseurs all over the world and is yet competitively priced. It is indeed a homerun for every maduro cigar enthusiast.

The Onyx cigars are a branch of the Altadis, USA family of cigar brands which were acquired when Consolidated cigars were purchased by Altidis. The Onyx brand is manufactured at Altadis La Romana factory of the Dominican Republic.

They are rich, full bodied handmade maduro cigars with a lovely aroma and come in delightfully square pressed and well packaged in semi-boite nature or SBN boxes. The feature that makes Onyx cigars so good, and gives them their “got to taste” flavor is their Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, which is the most expensive wrapper in the world.

It is well aged and carefully processed to produce the coal black Maduro wrapper. It is this Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that has earned Onyx Cigars its 90-plus ratings and has cigar lovers flocking to get them. It is really every maduro lovers dream come true. They come with a Nicaraguan binder, with a blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican and Peruvian long filler tobaccos. The Onyx cigar is lovely to look at, with its solid well made look and its body glistening with shades of rich oil.

Some people are put off by the bitterness up front and consider it to be a negative point against Onyx. But most people would agree that things get better from there on. After you get into the smoke a bit more, you will surely be surprised by the big dose of spiciness that will emerge. Almost at the midpoint of the cigar, the bitterness seemed to make way for the dry, heavy and earthy flavor which comes combined with a slight touch of power. Even the draw seems to improve towards the end. And you will find yourself enjoying the cigar as a powerful and full-bodied cigar.

The Onyx cigars are definitely worth their price as they are competitively priced and are sure to fit your flavor niche.
