Handcrafted by Manuel Quesada at the Matasa factory in the Dominican Republic. It is a wonderfully balanced cigar with notes of coffee with milk, and nuts, that develops to a smooth, creamy flavor. The aroma is subtle and pleasing to the nose, a superb smoke for those tranquil moments. This excellent quality cigar has shown great longevity throughout the years. Introduced in 1989, Licenciados has established itself as a consistently well made, well priced, mild to medium bodied product.
