The Seventh Gilgamesh Aqua Anu

The ring depicts Gilgamesh, also known as 'Bilgamesh' in Sumerian and 'Gilgamos' in Greek, who is closely associated with Dumuzi in the Sumerian poem entitled 'The Descent of Inanna into the Underworld'.

This cigar has a thick, even wrapper, with tobacco aged for 10 years.
On the nose, notes of cedar and cocoa are very present, although they are not very noticeable during tasting.

In the first third, it has a strong earthy aspect, reminiscent of dry or even volcanic soil, accompanied by woody notes. The ash is quite crumbly, but its smooth and pleasant draw delivers a full-bodied, flavourful smoke with spicy notes.

In the second third, a salty note begins to develop, still accompanied by a certain spiciness. Finally, in the last third, a slight hint of menthol can be detected.

In terms of food pairing, these cigars can be enjoyed with chocolate cookies or rich butter biscuits to balance their indulgent character.

The cigar anecdote

Gilgamesh is generally recognised as the fifth historical king of Uruk, having reigned in the 26th century BCE.
