Gilbert de Montsalvat Anniversary

This blend of Nicaragua and Santo Domingo offers a delightful range of aromas! Aromas of roasted beans and sweet almonds give this cigar intense flavours from the moment it is lit.

There's always a story behind every cigar. And this mysterious Gilbert de Montsalvat Anniversary is no exception. It was on a day when the weather was miserable that the creator of this cigar allowed himself to be convinced by the idea that a cigar should only be appreciated at its true value with his own free will. And so the story of this Anniversary begins, the end... is up to you...

Tasting note

Notes

This blend of Nicaragua and Santo Domingo offers a delightful range of aromas! Aromas of roasted beans and sweet almonds give this cigar intense flavours from the moment it is lit. The vegetal side is present but very well controlled. Cocoa and dried fruit follow to create a creamy, gourmet experience. A cigar with present aromas but tempered strength. A real treat!

Pairing

This cigar goes well with a crèpe flambéed with Grand Marnier. You need gourmandise to satisfy gourmandise. For my part, I'll leave out the alcohol (for once) and pair it with a green tea quickly infused with Jasmine.

Momentum

A sunny Sunday afternoon on the terrace of the local Tea-Room.

The cigar anecdote

It was on a day with miserable weather that the creator of this cigar allowed himself to be convinced by the idea that a cigar should only be appreciated at its true value with his own free will.

The 'Gilbert de Montsalvat' cacrter is adorable, calm, level-headed and has a good dose of hidden humour. Raymondo Bernasconi, owner of the Royal Cigar Company
