Strength: Medium - Full
Tasting Notes: First light detonates with intense flavor! Black cocoa, raw cane sugar, black pepper, tanned leather, and vanilla bean rush over the palate. Espresso with cream and amaretto follow. The finish is elegant and clean with lingering notes of milk chocolate. The retrohale adds a fiery cinnamon burn.
As it progresses, heavy whipping cream and cashews appear. Cinnamon stick and red pepper flakes emerge along with Spanish wood and all-spice.
Halfway, the richness and body grows even more. Dark caramel, hints of bourbon oak barrel, and melted butter emerge. Raw cane sugar sweetness and pie crust appear. Big blasts of buttercream wash over the palate. Absolutely phenomenal!
Last third everything intensifies! Huge blasts of dark spiced rum, buttercream, and black tea are added to the mix. Molasses, and toasted nuts creep in. The cigar stays perfectly cool and the burn is a razor's edge all the way to the nub!
