Strength: Medium - Full
Tasting Notes: First light is a massive wave of flavor! Dark chocolate, all-spice, dark brown sugar, and heavy cream rush across the palate. Hints of cinnamon stick, and mocha follow immediately after. The finish lingers long on the tongue with notes of nutmeg and vanilla bean. Retrohale adds a warming pepper burn.
As it progresses, the age of the tobacco starts to be tasted immediately. The flavor is hard to describe...but it's magnificent! Along with that are hints of raw cane sugar, bourbon barrel, and black pepper.
Halfway, the richness goes up another level. Caramel, cocoa nibs, milk chocolate, and aged leather emerge. Hints of cocoa, macadamia nuts, and clove appear.
Last third, everything gets even more intense! Blasts of ultra-dark chocolate appear. Powdered sugar, walnuts, star anise, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter. The last third of this cigar could possibly be the most complex flavors I've ever experienced in a cigar!
