Strength: Full
Tasting Notes: First light explodes like powder keg! Extra-dark chocolate, dark brown sugar, espresso beans, nutmeg, and heavy cream rush over the palate. Pudding and white pepper follow close behind. Hints of cashew and cream round out the finish. The retrohale adds a warm cinnamon burn.
As it progresses, the body of the cigar becomes creamier. Big notes of caramel appear. A beautiful vanilla bean flavor emerges. As it mixes with the spiciness it takes on the flavor of dark spiced rum.
Halfway, the blends begins to grow even smoother. Milk chocolate, raw sugar, and Cabernet wine come to the fore. The finish is clean adding a hint of toasted almonds and nougat.
The last third, the creaminess grows even more with notes of cinnamon spice and burnt sugar. Cake frosting, buttercream, and bourbon barrel round out the flavors all the way to the end. Completely phenomenal!!
