L’Atelier El Suelo Terreno

L’Atelier El Suelo Terreno is a 5 1/4 x 56 Gordo from Pete Johnson’s L’Atelier line. Johnson, the creator of Tatuaje, blended it with the Garcia family. El Suelo means “the soil,” and each size in the line carries the name of a type of land. The Terreno is the shortest of its three sizes.

The cigar is handmade in Nicaragua. A dark, reddish brown Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper covers a Connecticut Broadleaf binder. The filler is a mix of Nicaraguan long leaf and Connecticut Broadleaf. The strength is medium to full. Expect earth, black pepper, coffee and cedar, with cocoa, hazelnut, leather and a hint of sweet spice. CigarPlace adds that the blend suits a reliable daily smoke.

The 56 ring gauge gives a generous, cool smoke, and the compact length keeps the cigar easy to handle. The Broadleaf adds a sweet, earthy depth to the Nicaraguan fillers. Allow roughly 90 minutes, depending on pace. It suits a long, relaxed evening.

This cigar appeals to smokers who like a savoury, earthy profile and a thick ring gauge. It is also a good choice for anyone looking for a Pete Johnson blend at an everyday level.
