Strength: Medium-Full
Tasting Notes: First light is a massive wave of flavors! Brown sugar, milk chocolate, and red pepper rush across the palate. Cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and heavy whipping cream immediately follow. Raw leather notes emerge on the finish. The retrohale adds a spicy jalapeño burn.
As it progresses, the flavors even more complex.Serrano pepper and maple emerge. The age of the tobacco really begins to shine. Hints of dark chocolate and cayenne pepper emerge on the finish.
Halfway, it gets even richer! Creamy butter and cappuccino come to the fore. Anise, clove, and white oak join the mix. A wave of raw sugar cane and hazelnut linger on the palate. The balance and sophistication of this cigar is absolutely second to none!
Last third, everything elevates and intensifies! Dark chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and aged tobacco (don't know how to even describe this amazing flavor) begin to dominate. Maple syrup complimented by spicy black pepper. The burn is perfect and the cigar is cool all the way to the nub!
