Tasting Notes: The opening delivers toasty notes, faint lemons, nuts, and cedar, laying down a classic Connecticut profile of sweetness and creaminess, with a slight vegetal note. The aroma reminisces of the once-familiar scent of El Titan De Bronze, suggesting a Cuban method of tobacco storage.
As the smoke progresses, the draw improves, leading to increased smoke production and a blend of woody and bourbon-like flavors, enhanced by orange peel and a hint of red pepper on the retrohale. The conclusion brings a focus on woody and bourbon-like flavors, with a detailed finish. Despite its mild intensity, the finale offers a complex and satisfying end to a nuanced profile.
Pairing Notes: Licorice-flavored gelato, almond croissants, orange zest dark chocolate, toasted almond and herb-crusted chicken, cedar plank salmon, bourbon-glazed pork chops, floral-infused honey drizzled over ricotta, creamy polenta with roasted red peppers, lemon tart with a nutty crust, cedar-aged white wine.
