Never a big nor grand chocolate, Cuba however almost always produces easy, even friendly bars. This one here so steady & hospitable in its offering, humble though it may be. And similar to C-AMARO's Caribbean island mate from the D.R., significantly sweeter than its listed percentage.

A suitable companion / complement for a hand-rolled cigar & a swing chair on the portico during a lazy summer dusk.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar
