Strength: Medium - Full
Tasting Notes:
First light wallops you with intense flavor! Ultra-dark chocolate, dark brown sugar, black pepper, tanned leather, and stout beer rush over the palate. (The complexity is almost overwhelming) Espresso with cream, cane sugar, and amaretto follow. The retrohale is strong adding a cayenne pepper burn.
As it progresses, heavy whipping cream and caramel appear. Cinnamon stick and red pepper flakes emerge along with white oak wood and nutmeg.
Halfway, the richness and body grows even more. Waves of milk chocolate emerge. Bourbon whiskey, custard, coffee beans, and hint of sweet cloves join the mix. The complexity is almost too much to describe!
Last third everything crescendos! Huge blasts of spiced rum, buttercream, and cedar wood are added to the mix. Black tea, molasses, and toasted nuts. The cigar stays perfectly cool and the burn is a razor's edge all the way to the nub!
