It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with most of the cigars coming from Danli Honduras Tabaco recently, the entire Don Juan Calavera line has captivated me and there is a box of each in my humidor, and the Flor Maya line is creeping in as well. I was introduced to a cigar that didn’t seem to fit in, called the Marchetti, and I was intrigued. This certainly lacked any Latin theme at all, it has an Italian name, and comes in a plain black box with a stylized eagle (I guess) band design. It’s very slick and classic, a departure from the dia de los muertos skull design of the Don Juan Calaveras and the rustic look of the Flor Maya. It turns out that the cigar is named after one of the original founders of Danli Honduras Tabaco’s mother, Jenny Marcheti, an Italian who married a Honduran. The cigar is named in her honor. This answers the question of how a Honduran cigar got an Italian name!
I’ve been itching to write about this cigar for a few weeks, but I wanted to get the story first. It’s a damn delicious box pressed 6″ x 52 toro. Again, they seemingly make cigars with my tastes in mind, because not only is this my favored size, but the flavor profile is right up my alley as well. This has a maduro San Andrés wrapper, Habano binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Jalapa and Condega, and Honduran fillers from Jamastrán and Copán. As I’ve found with other cigars from this factory, the construction is perfect, and the flavor is rich, lush and decadent. What I expect from a blend like this, cocoa,, expresso, with some earth and spice. I’ve smoked a few of these and keep going back. When I 
get back from TPE I’m going to have a contest and share some Danli Honduras Tabaco cigars, but it’s hard for me to let go! I just enjoy the crap out of them. But I do want to share them and spread the word. I have some with me that I hope to share at the show too. I’m glad I didn’t try the Marchetti until after I chose my 2019 favorite cigar of the year, or this might have made the list. It’s another wonderful cigar from a company that I hope gains wider distribution.
Well, as I write this I’m on my way to Las Vegas for the Tobacco Plus Expo, so my next post should be something from the show. Watch my Instagram and Facebook for up t the minute whatever it is I’m doing. It should be very interesting! Until then,
