Strength: Medium
Tasting Notes:
First light is a massive wave of complexity! Heavy cream, cinnamon stick, brown sugar, and leather wash over the palate. Hints of hazelnut, vanilla bean, and nutmeg immediately follow. The finish lingers on the tongue adding a very buttery taste. The retrohale is strong with a warm (you guessed it!) cinnamon burn.
As it progresses, powdered sugar, red cinnamon bears, and milk chocolate emerge. Cedar wood and white pepper notes balance the cigar perfectly on the finish.
Halfway, the blend gets even richer. Warm caramel becomes dominant. Fresh-brewed coffee, whipped cream, and toasted almonds appear. Blasts of maple syrup and black peppercorn. Amazing!
Last third, things get even more intense. Sugar cane, whiskey, dark chocolate, and taffy appear. Big waves of butter, white frosting, clove, cardamom, and Irish cream liquor. The flavors and burn are utter perfection all the way to the nub!
