Two years ago, I reached out to my good friend Noel Rojas, asking him to craft something deeply personal—a cigar that would capture the essence of one of my favorite Cubans, the Partagas No. 4. Noel, known as the "King of Small Gauge," is a master blender whose reputation has only grown in the past few years. Together, we set out to create something that would not just echo Cuban tradition but elevate it with Nicaraguan soul.
We tucked these cigars away in coolers, letting them rest and age quietly. For two long years, they transformed in the shadows—each leaf marrying with the others, flavors deepening, textures softening, and complexity blooming. When I finally lit one after the wait, I knew Noel had given me more than just a cigar. He had given me a memory, a reminder of why we do this—to create timeless experiences that connect people through craft and culture.
First Third: Sweet syrup and cedar layer over hazelnut, toast, black coffee, molasses, and even a root-like sarsaparilla note. A bold, almost nostalgic opening.
Second Third: The sweetness fades into cedar and tree bark, bringing an earthy core. Toast and roasted nuts remain, while herbal and medicinal undertones add depth. Creaminess intensifies, and the retrohale blooms with white pepper creaminess.
Final Third: Roasted nuts rise again, joined by black coffee and earthy tones. The finale is marked by a smoky charcoal finish, leaving behind a robust and memorable aftertaste.
