Esteban Carreras Devil’s Hand Maduro Sixty Gordo

The Esteban Carreras Devil’s Hand Maduro Sixty Gordo is a robust, Nicaraguan-made cigar that embodies a captivating tale of tobacco smuggled from Cuba’s regime, featuring an Ecuadorian Corojo Maduro wrapper fermented for an extra two years to enhance its smoothness and subtle sweetness, paired with a Nicaraguan binder and Condega-sourced fillers for a medium-bodied smoke with surprising mild strength. Measuring a substantial 6 inches long with a 60 ring gauge, this gordo vitola offers a complex flavor evolution starting in the first third with earthy notes, black pepper, cedar, creaminess, and hints of hazelnut that build vibrancy through retrohales; transitioning in the middle to drier earth, amplified pepper, creamy undertones, and sweet orange citrus with occasional grilled smokiness; and culminating in the final third with fresh marshmallow sweetness, rocky earth, bold black pepper, and raw almond nuances for a rich, lingering finish. Known for its even burn, easy draw, firm construction, and abundant smoke production, this limited-release cigar delivers a creamy, balanced profile that defies expectations of intensity, making it ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate nuanced depth in a larger format that smokes cool and slow over about two hours.
