Fratello Speakeasy

Behind its milk chocolate brown cloak, roughened and marked with small dark pimples, the Fratello Speakeasy seduces from the outset with its beautiful presence and impeccable finish. On lighting, the draw is fluid, the smoke abundant, grey and, above all, unctuous. A hint of sweet liquorice gently caresses the palate.

In keeping with the Prohibition theme of speakeasies hidden behind secret entrances, the exact origins of these cigars are kept secret.

Tasting note

With each puff, the cigar settles into a toasty, smoky register, warmed by a pleasant background of nuts. Nothing exuberant, but a constant, controlled balance. The final third wakes up at times with a pinch of pepper, while the dried fruit intensifies slightly. The finish heats up a little, as it often does, but remains perfectly controlled.

A cigar without any major surprises, but with a great deal of precision. The Speakeasy does not seek to impress, but to offer a moment of calm, roundness and coherence. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon tasting.

Pairing

A lager will be the perfect companion for this cigar. While supporting the slight bitterness of the Speakeasy, it will refresh the palate.

Momentum

A cigar for the early afternoon. Hide away in the back of a smoking room - in "prohibition" mode - or, on the contrary, indulge yourself on the terrace in a relaxed atmosphere. The choice is yours.
