Izambar Sovereign Robusto Extra

Visually, this cigar is already appealing. Its shiny, dark wrapper is adorned with the large black and silver band that is the timeless hallmark of Izambar cigars. The beautiful leaf from Ecuador already exudes the first notes of cocoa.

Hand-rolled in Nicaragua with tobacco from Jalapa, Esteli and Omotepe, this beautifully crafted cigar in "extra" format allows us to enjoy a tasting session lasting around 70 minutes, during which the aromas will steadily intensify.

Tasting menu

Notes

Initially focused on the roundness of the cocoa, which was already detectable when raw, the flavours become increasingly creamy and indulgent. With a lovely length on the palate, its aromas linger and we also enjoy a slight peppery note, which is not at all unpleasant.

The richness of the cape is also evident on the palate, with a creamy texture that carries us halfway through this beautiful module. Once past this point, we remove the cap to enjoy the aromas of straw and burnt wood. The finish reveals a few autumnal notes reminiscent of nutmeg, making us want to savour another small square of chocolate.

Pairing

Paired with hazelnut chocolate, this cigar will work wonders. Combining the richness of the chocolate with the smoothness of the cigar will tantalise your taste buds.

Enjoy the comforting and warm aromas of this classic and timeless pairing.
