Flavor Notes
**Ligero Leaf (Flavorah) 1%/2% (8-26-25)** -- I have to admit, every time I TRY and review a bacco flavor, I feel like, I'm NOT the guy. I do, but not being a big bacco'er, and never NET'er, I can only do so much, so HERE goes. I don't know a [Ligero](https://smoking-hub.com/storage/2022/10/cigar-tobacco-anatomy.jpg), from a from a [Seco, or a Voldao](https://smoking-hub.com/cigars/), but this was a Ligero Leaf which is from the top of the top of the tobacco plant, with some of the stronger, spicier notes. This flavor seemed to capture a fair amount of that. I started it out at 1%, and felt it needed a little boost, and upped it to 2%. It got stronger, but not linearly, so the top shelf might be at the 1.5%-ish region.
While fairly sweet, it was NOT an RY4. Sweetness was about 2 ticks above mid level, and overall it favored a mid, to mid dark tobacco leaf. It had a nice little spicy kick to it, and tasted pretty damned natural to me. There was a little smokyness to it, and an almost ashy note on the finish, which worked very well with the dark/er notes, and spicy kick. Testing fairly few tobaccos I couldn't compare it really, but needless to say, it was impressive, and even doubled at 2%, which fairly strong, it was still not an overpowering flavor. About the only complaint would have been a slight dryness on the finish, but in many ways, it helped to accent the ashy note, so whether or not that is/was a con for you, is, well, up to you. All in, an interestingly dark, darker tobacco, very natural, with a nice light spicy edge, finished off with a subtle ashy-ness. Rating via my limited bacco experience, and leaving it high at a **9/10**.
