The Island Jim Maduro represents the darker side of Jim Robinson's innovative collaboration with Oscar Valladares, featuring the same distinctive #2 pencil design that has made the brand famous. This medium to medium-full bodied cigar showcases a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper that brings rich, earthy characteristics with notes of chocolate, leather, cream, and sweet spice. The unique dual-wrapper construction includes both the San Andrés maduro wrapper and Ecuadorian Connecticut elements, creating a complex flavor profile that evolves throughout the smoking experience. Handcrafted at Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Company in Honduras, this cigar maintains the brand's signature shaggy foot design and multi-layered cap that resembles a #2 pencil's eraser and tip. The Honduran binder and filler tobaccos provide a solid foundation for the blend, which focuses more on flavor complexity than raw strength. The innovative construction allows smokers to experience different flavor profiles depending on where they choose to cut the cigar, making each smoking session a unique experience. Reviewers consistently praise the Island Jim Maduro as a 'go to' cigar for special occasions, noting its wonderful flavors and impressive smoke production. The cigar pairs exceptionally well with tropical rum cocktails, reflecting the brand's island-inspired theme, and is designed for serious cigar connoisseurs who appreciate complex, well-crafted boutique cigars with distinctive presentation and flavor development.
