Balmoral Añejo XO Rotschild Massivo

Añejo XO cigars are the result of an extremely meticulous blending process using exceptionally aged tobaccos, giving these cigars a first-class, well-rounded character. The Balmoral Añejo XO offers a beautiful medium-bodied smoking experience with aromas of cedar wood and cocoa.

Tasting menu

Notes

The ignition is smooth, the first notes of cocoa reach us and the wrapper – a beautiful, perfectly matured Arapicara leaf from Brazil with prominent veins – quickly leaves a sweet taste on the lips.

The smoke fills the space and thickens. Its rounded aromas intensify and give the tasting a steady rhythm.
Sometimes cedar, sometimes chocolate. A hint of spice reminiscent of grains of paradise mingles with the dance of flavours in this cigar. The tasting is now in full swing.

The finish lives up to the rest. Round and powerful, the final third goes well with a square of very dark chocolate. A real treat!

Pairing

Feel free to enjoy it with a platter of dried meat accompanied by a few turns of freshly ground pepper. This will echo the smoky and nutmeg notes revealed by the cigar.

About Balmoral

The brand, established in 1895, takes its name from Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the residence of Queen Victoria. It was during her reign that many of the key players in the cigar industry (still active today) first emerged. The watchwords? Artisanal expertise and respectability.

The same is true of Jacques Wintermans, founder of Royal Agio Cigars. This Dutch entrepreneur was the first of four generations that have followed in his footsteps to bring us these fine cigars.
