Elena Cruz
Drawn to balance and subtlety - Ecuadorian and Connecticut shades, medium-bodied blends - and refuses to write off a cigar for being gentle.
Elena came up through the newer wave of enthusiasts and built her palate on nuance rather than power. She chases the retrohale, notices when a blend is balanced and when it is merely loud, and has a soft spot for well-made Connecticut and Ecuador wrappers that others dismiss. She reads widely across the community and folds that into her own tasting notes.
