Description
Opening Act: The first draws are a symphony of cream and caramel, with white pepper adding a sharp zing on the retrohale. Notes of hay and butter offer rustic charm, complemented by a subtle dusting of chocolate. As the smoke envelops you, the cigar introduces a robust nuttiness, underpinned by caramel sweetness and velvety creaminess.
Mid-Session Revelations: In the second third, the cigar reveals creamed corn, delicate floral notes, and a burst of strawberry, evoking a summer garden in bloom. Caramel notes transform into caramel corn, adding a playful twist. The burn remains even, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable session.
The Grand Finale: The final third matures into a rich tapestry of wood and fig, with a hint of roses elevating the experience. Dark cherries, chocolate, and cedar craft a closing sequence that’s both nuanced and dramatic, reminding you of the cigar’s journey from earthy beginnings to a sophisticated conclusion.
The Pairing Suggestions:
Pair this cigar with an aged, oaky bourbon to complement its creamy and fruity notes. For a non-alcoholic option, try a rich hot chocolate or apricot tea. Enjoy with creamy cheesecake or a rich chocolate torte to enhance the experience.

Delicious cigar – the description above is pretty accurate. Perfect draw and construction, with a complex profile (apricot and red fruit are indeed the main highlights for me). Very much reminds me of the larger vitola Bandoleros. I’d like to see these offered in a box in the future (I didn’t see the option), and will be super interested to see how they develop with some age. If Selected and Septimo are your jam, these will probably be right in your wheelhouse.
