Release Date: December 2020
Number of Cigars Smoked For Review: 3
Visually, the Amendola Signature Series Cannoli Red is covered in an extremely rustic and mottled reddish brown wrapper that is fairly smooth to the touch but covered in large, protruding veins. There is very little oil present and it is nicely spongy when squeezed, while the box-press is easily discernible. The aroma from the wrapper is a combination of leather, dark chocolate and oak while the foot smells of hay, generic wood, peanut shells, fondant and raisin sweetness. The cold draw brings flavors of dense creamy oak, sweet hay, cocoa nibs, espresso beans and generic nuts along with at touch of both black pepper and vanilla sweetness.
Amendola Adds Signature Series Cannoli Green, White
Amendola Family Cigar Co. has completed its version of the Tricolore thanks to the recent release of the new Amendola Signature Series Cannoli Green and White cigars.
Those two cigars join the Amendola Signature Series Cannoli Red, which launched last December. Both of the new cigars are 5 1/2 x 42 petite coronas. The Green uses a Sumatran wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers; the company describes it as medium to full in body. The White uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper and is described as mild to medium. Both cigars have an MSRP of $9 per cigar and are produced at La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
