Tasting notes

From the moment it is lit, a pleasantly sweet flavour develops, quickly accompanied by perfectly balanced toasty notes.
The profile is tangy, characterised by cedar, with a slight hint of bitterness in the first third that adds depth without throwing the balance off.

As the tasting progresses, the toasty notes linger, enhanced by hints of roasted hazelnut.
The sweet notes then temper the intensity, creating a lovely harmony and a sense of controlled roundness.

The finish develops into a bold, intense and assertive burnt coffee flavour.

The development remains deliberately restrained: toasty, roasted and rich from start to finish, with remarkable consistency.

As for the construction, there’s nothing to complain about:
🔥 compact ash, broken up only twice across the entire module, and a flawless draught.

A cigar we would have loved to smoke with a microphone, such is the irresistible crackling of the burning tobacco.
