Cigar Reveal #239

Warped
Venture 1492

"In 1492, the lure of the unknown pulled Christopher Columbus to Cuba's shores and introduced Europe to tobacco. More than 500 years later, the same insatiable thirst drives Venture 1492 to scout new frontiers in tobacco and share the next great discovery."

Halfwheel

There are numerous aspects to like about the Venture 1492 Gran Corona: the profile features some enjoyable flavors with nice transitions between thirds and all three cigars had pretty good construction. With that said, there is just not enough sweetness to balance out the overt black pepper that is currently present, and the medium-full strength of the blend that makes itself known in the final third causes some issues with the overall balance by the end of the cigar. This is an enjoyable release now, but I do think some time resting will do wonders for this blend by allowing more sweetness to emerge while toning down the strength that dominates the final third.
