The 1502 Ruby is beautifully constructed, with all the flavor and aroma from de valley of Jalapa and Esteli in Nicaragua, wrapped in a dark Equadorian wrapper. Smoking the Toro, it was a a slower burner becoming a 1 hour and 15 minute smoke that was enjoyable from first puff to last licks.

 

The moment I lit the 1502 Ruby I was treated to a mix of sweet grass & pepper that increased prominently as I continued to smoke. And just when I thought I was getting intimate with the early flavors, an undertone of citrus emerged -- though I can't put my finger on whether it was a tart tangerine or grapefruit, but it made the cigar all the more interesting ... I love surprises and this was unexpected. Deep in conversation with my cigar, with pepper, citrus and grass still present I started to detect a slight sweet coffee in the background. And halfway through the earthiness, a touch of coffee and cocoa emerged, building with a deep tobacco flavor that caught my attention.

 

I was getting into the final third of the Ruby when the flavors began to develop and become more earthy & peppery, a little spicy to my palate, but very delish to the last puff. I just know Ruby & I will be seeing each other again, real soon.
