Binder: Nicaraguan
Fillers: Nicaraguan
Body: The initial impression is delicately nuanced, with the soft, subtle aroma of peach skin setting a light, fruity tone.
Foot: A blend of dried fruits and roasted nuts emerges, offering a warm, inviting aroma that hints at depth and complexity.
Cold Draw: A delightful combination of dried apricot and faint freeze-dried strawberry is laced with a hint of licorice, preparing the palate for a multifaceted experience.
Tasting Notes: A robust start with oak and spice firmly gripping the palate, complemented by a creamy, rich smoke. The retrohale introduces a spicy concoction of dried fruits and leather, along with sharp cedar. As it progresses, an array of fruits, including pear notes, becomes apparent, though they are dominated by a potent red pepper explosion, adding a dramatic flair to the experience.
The palate encounters an intriguing transition to candied ginger and simple syrup, balancing the earlier red pepper intensity. The oak remains present, while cedar continues to add a biting edge. The overall profile begins to mellow, creating a sensational experience on the palate. The retrohale is reminiscent of a luxurious perfume, evolving to include cinnamon, cardamom, and caramel, enhancing the cigar’s complexity. The finale is overwhelmingly complex. A symphony of oak, dried plum, and a citrus zing harmonizes with cedar and a toned-down red pepper. Perfume and licorice notes persist, joined by leather and earthy undertones. As it nears the end, white pepper emerges, giving way to vanilla and a crisp apple finish, rounding off a remarkably intricate smoking journey.
Pairing Notes: Pairs exceptionally well with a bold, aged whiskey or a complex, aromatic coffee, accentuating its varied and intricate flavors.
